  1. Una gran trilogia. No he llegit res d'ell, però em fa ganes començar per "En la orilla", què parla de la crisis, miraré si la trobo.

    1. A great trilogy, indeed. Herewith highly recommended.
      As for "En la orilla", published in 2013: I have not yet read it.
      I can imagine, though, that it is more or less a sequel to "Crematorio", a brilliant analysis of Spain and the wild capitalism of our time, which was a sensational success in 2006 and was also made into a film.
      Perhaps you should start with this book: a fascinating read.
      Aferradetes, Paula.
