«Rabos de lagartija» is the contemporary fiction novel by Juan Marsé, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (352 pages, in Spanish).
In post-war Spain: David takes refuge in the cinema in the absence of his father, a persecuted libertarian. Around him are his dog Chispa, Inspector Galván and Rosa Bartra, a pregnant redhead. The lizard tails symbolize a childhood divided between truth and lies; a fetus that remembers what was not lived acts as narrator.

For readers of contemporary Spanish narrative and literary fiction, interested in the post-war period, memory and the boundaries between reality and fiction.
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.
