«Si te dicen que caí» is the novel by Juan Marsé, published by Bruguera in hardcover (319 pages, in Spanish).
Set in postwar Barcelona, it follows boys from a poor neighborhood growing up amid repression, fear and misery. Their games and fantasies mix with the «aventis», stories they invent themselves, and from that crossing of voices and memories emerges a critical view of Francoism and a reflection on memory and identity.
The work was originally published in 1973; this edition belongs to the Club Bruguera collection, no. 9.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish literature and in novels with a fragmentary structure that demand attention.
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.
