Immerse yourself in the unforgettable gallery of characters struggling to get ahead in post-war Barcelona with 'Rabos de lagartija', a novel awarded the Critics Prize and the National Prize for Literature. Through the endearing couple formed by the teenager David and his dog Chispa, the enamored inspector Galván, Rosa Bartra, the libertarian father and an arrogant RAF pilot, Juan Marsé weaves a moving story with an original and impossible narrator: an unborn child who remembers what he has not yet lived from within his mother's womb. With a translucent language and a wise and imaginative narrative structure, this masterpiece explores the boundaries between reality and fiction, truth and lies, good and evil, love and heartbreak, consolidating Marsé as one of the most important novelists of contemporary European narrative.
Juan Marsé Carbó was a Spanish novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who used Spanish as his literary language. In 2008, he was awarded the Cervantes Prize, "the Spanish-language equivalent" to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
