La historia del silencio
Anagrama, 1997 / RBA, 2007
(The Story of Silence) This novel is about yet another book that was never written, and also about all of the things that we hide from those people who think to know us well. In this splendid gallery of characters and chronicle of our time, the author displays his implacable sense of humour and shows us to what extent life is a comedy under the constant threat of a tragic ending. Laughter, which we use to scare away silence, is the most elegant way of forgetting for a moment how close that danger is. This is something the series of characters whose lives are intertwined in this book know well.

«Impeccably written. Reading that turns into pleasure, a game with no rules, from the first to the last line.» N. Marra, El País
«With humour, tenderness and infinite delicacy, with discrete elegance, with a soft brilliance and an incredible sense of balance and harder still, with an unusual cultural charge and yet entertaining at the same time, here lies a contemporary tragedy that refuses to speak its own name...» Rafael Conte, ABC
