Rain Over Madrid
Autor Andrés Barba Traducere de Lisa Dillmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2014
A collection of four novellas—"Fatherhood," "Guile," "Fidelity" and "Shopping"—where intense loneliness and desire guide an alienated cast of characters. In these poignant depictions of repression and guilt Barba captures existential mystery in seemingly banal moments of domestic strife, family tension, and romantic entanglements.
