Review
'No one arrives further than Alberto Mendez. [The Blind Sunflowers] has the mark and the delirium of a book meditated throughout a lifetime; each line resonates as if it were the author's last...An exemplary book about the consequences of the Spanish Civil War' - El Pais'A first novel by an author I strongly recommend - not just as a critic, but as a reader without judgements or prejudices that I became from the first page' - La Vanguardia'One of the most intense and original books to have been published in Spain in recent years' - ABC'In his literary debut, Mendez displays a well-rounded and impeccable prose' - Heraldo de Aragon'The text touches the soul deeply. Read it' - Diario de Cordoba
Product Description
A captain in Franco's army, on the same day as the victory, renounces wining the war; a young poet runs away with his pregnant girlfriend to grow up quickly and die within few months; a prisoner in Porlier's jail, who refuses to live a lie so that his executioner can gain moral authority; and a lustful deacon who hides his desire behind the apostolic fascism that clamours for the purifying blood of the defeated. These are stories from silent times, when it was terrifying that anyone knew what you knew. Four subtly connected stories, narrated with the same language but with the individual styles of the different narrators that shape the true main protagonist of this story: defeat.
