Much has been said about the Spanish Civil War and its consequences, but there are very few accounts that integrate the vision of three different generations. Mario Guinea presents with his work a “novelated memoirs” on war, the post-war and democracy, all with the coronavirus crisis as a backdrop.
The reader will find a story as real as life itself. Like the lives of thousands of Spaniards throughout these years. ” The truth is that these novelized memoirs I present are something more than a conventional novel. It is a book of historical content, truthful and highly topical in these times when our historical memory is being so much questioned by certain political representatives and certain institutional levels”, says the author Mario Guinea.
This writer and journalist was born in Germany, but has divided his life between Madrid and Barcelona. His career runs through the channels of journalism in all its senses. Co-founder of the art and literature magazine Senso, he has published the novel The Free Life of Babur the Mad and the short story book The Sweet Smell of Burnt Skin.
