Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A nocturnal drift through the margins of Madridwhere lost souls cross paths with the surreal, and the city itself becomes a character.In this stark, luminous novel, Esther Garcia Llovet returns to the shadows of the Spanish capital to trace the uneasy reunion of Nikki and Sanchez, two former lovers bound by shared history and mutual failure. She has returned from the borderlands of Gibraltar, where she dealt contraband. He, a man seemingly pursued by bad luck, accepts her offer out of desperation: help deliver a greyhound named Cromwell to a woman deep in the racing underworld.What follows is a long nights descent through a Madrid untouched by tourism or nostalgiaa landscape of bingo halls, half-lit highways, silent gas stations, and after-hours bars that seem suspended in time. Here, even the fantastical feels plausible: a performance artist devours raw deer meat in the forest, while unspoken debts and spectral memories surface with the clarity only darkness allows.With clipped, exacting prose and dialogue that cuts like broken glass, Garcia Llovet sketches a world that is both brutal and strangely tendera Madrid of the mind, where the borders between absurdity, danger, and beauty dissolve.
