«Travesía de Madrid» is the novel by Francisco Umbral, published by Editorial Argos Ver in paperback (268 pages, in Spanish).
«Travesía de Madrid» portrays the Madrid of the 1960s through marginal characters and nocturnal urban settings, with neon light as a backdrop. Umbral's disenchanted prose traverses the city's streets and corners to reveal a sordid and poetic side of the postwar period, far from clichés and full of survival.
The novel was originally published in 1966 and this edition belongs to the Alternativa 12 collection.
For readers of Spanish postwar fiction and for those who want to discover the more literary and streetwise side of 1960s Madrid.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
