The acclaimed novel of Spain's economic crisis - a timely
masterpiece. Under a weak winter sun in small-town Spain, a man
discovers a rotting corpse in a marsh. It's a despairing town
filled with half-finished housing developments and unemployment, a
place defeated by the burst of the economic bubble. Stuck in the
same town is Esteban, his small factory bankrupt, his investments
gone, the sole carer to his mute, invalid father. As Esteban's
disappointment and fury lead him to form a dramatic plan to reverse
financial ruin, other voices float up from the wreckage. Stories of
loss twist together to form a kaleidoscopic image of Spain's
crisis. And the corpse in the marsh is just one. Chirbes's
rhythmic, torrential style creates a Spanish masterpiece for our
age.
