«Tranvía a la Malvarrosa» is Manuel Vicent's coming-of-age novel, published by Alfaguara in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
In the Valencia of the 1950s, a teenager experiences the transition to youth amid sexual awakening, religious guilt, and the weight of a repressive education. The tram ride to Malvarrosa beach becomes his rite of passage towards freedom, in a story that weaves personal memory with famous crimes and the sentimental geography of a city still tied to its orchards.
Novel originally published in 1994 in the Alfaguara Hispánica collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and coming-of-age stories with a strong autobiographical component.
