«Travesía de Madrid» is the novel by Francisco Umbral, published by Orbis in hardcover (187 pages, in Spanish).
The novel traverses the darkest, most marginal Madrid through characters who survive in the suburbs, lit by neon light and with no room for the «good angels». Umbral combines the hopelessness of postwar Spanish prose with a raw, poetic gaze at the city, its streets and its nocturnal creatures.
The work was originally published in 1966; this edition, from 1984, belongs to the Grandes Autores Españoles del Siglo XX collection.
Recommended for readers of Spanish fiction who want to approach the rawest, most urban side of Francisco Umbral.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
