This novel follows an Andalusian exile wandering New York after committing a crime in Spain. Muñoz Molina blends personal guilt with historical reflection on Spanish fascism. The prose is measured and introspective. The city becomes a space of anonymity and moral reckoning. Past and present overlap constantly. A quiet, reflective meditation on responsibility and memory.
