«Algú» is the novel by Alice McDermott published by Editorial Minúscula in 2015 in paperback, with 328 pages, in Catalan.
In an Irish immigrant neighbourhood in 1920s Brooklyn, Marie grows up watching her neighbours from the steps of her house. The novel traces her life in brief scenes: adolescence, first love, disappointments, losses, motherhood and maturity, with a prose that turns modest moments into a portrait of the human condition.
It is number 10 in the Microclimes collection. Translated from English by Marta Hernández and Zahara Méndez; the novel was originally published as «Someone» in 2013.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and historical fiction about the Irish community in New York.
