«Un paraguas para este día» is the novel by German writer Wilhelm Genazino, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardcover (184 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist, a forty-six-year-old shoe tester recently abandoned by the woman he loved and about to lose his job, wanders through the city turning the banal into material for reflection. Among loners, vagrants, women loved and avoided, and broken dreams, his interior monologue combines an existentialist backdrop with humor and moments of everyday beauty.
Work originally published in German as «Ein Regenschirm für diesen Tag» (2001), in the Narrativa collection. Genazino won the Georg Büchner Prize in 2004.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in reflective novels about urban life and the search for meaning.
