The History of Silence

The History of Silence—winner of the prestigious Premio Herralde de Novela on its original publication in Spanish—is a novel with a splendid gallery of characters in which the author displays his implacable sense of humor and shows us to what extent life is a comedy under the constant threat of a tragic ending. A work that reflects on the beauty and the risk of silence, on small unmentionable secrets and betrayals that lurk behind every love.
