New Spanish Titles - Spring 2011 - M

The country where M lives is not like yours. M lives in a kingdom of metal criss-crossed by a thousand million pipes, in a metal house whose garden has a shiny grey lawn. In this country, in this house, on this lawn, a meteorite is about to fall. If you ever see one falling on you, do what M does: first, get out of the way, next, don't let anyone take it away.

A novel that takes place in the historical setting of the Sahara's decolonisation (1970-1975). A novelistic essay that is a blend of reality and fiction, the work as such cannot be taken as a faithful reflection of historical events.
