«Sefarad» is the novel by Antonio Muñoz Molina published by Alfaguara in paperback (608 pages, in Spanish).
The novel mixes real figures (Kafka, Primo Levi, Walter Benjamin) and fictional ones who share persecution and exile. The title, the Hebrew name for Spain, symbolizes all exiles: the Holocaust, the Gulag, the civil war, the Inquisition. Through interwoven stories, Muñoz Molina explores identity, memory and the intolerance that ran through the twentieth century.
The English translation of the work received the PEN Translation Prize in 2004.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the historical novel and the memory of the twentieth century.
