«Si te dicen que caí» is the historical fiction novel by Juan Marsé, published by Bruguera in paperback (319 pages, in Spanish).
Set in postwar Barcelona, it portrays the lives of young people growing up in the Guinardó neighborhood amid repression and poverty. Through their games and fantasies, and the stories the children invent, a world is created that blends the extraordinary with the everyday, with memory, lost childhood and freedom at its core.
Originally published in 1980, it belongs to the «Libro amigo» collection, number 761.
Demanding reading, suitable for those who enjoy fragmented structures, intersecting narrative voices and novels that do not follow a linear plot.
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.
