Along the Mediterranean coastline of Spain, real-estate developers
scramble to transform the once pastoral landscape into tourist
resorts, nightclubs, and beachfront properties with lavish bars and
pools. The booming post-Franco years have left everything up for
grabs. Cremation opens with the death of Matias, a paterfamilias
who had rejected all of these changes and whose passing sets off a
chain reaction, uncovering a past that had been buried for years,
and leading those closest to him to question the paths they've
chosen. In a rich mosaic narrative, filled with a hypnotic chorus
of voices, Cremation explores the coked-up champagne fizz of
luxurious parties shadowed by underworlds of political corruption,
prostitution, and ruthless financial speculation. The novel enters
that melancholy ouroboros of capitalist greed that led to the
financial crash and captures something essential about our values,
our choices, and our all too human mistakes. Like William Faulkner
or Francis Bacon, Chirbes stares, clear-eyed, into the abyss, and
portrays us as we really are.
