«Aún es de día» is the novel by Miguel Delibes, published by Editorial Destino in hardback (301 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Sebastián Ferrón, a young man self-conscious about his ugliness who lives with his mother and sister in a humble house in a neighbourhood. A grocery shop employee, he dreams of working in a department store, among disillusioned and brutal characters. Delibes combines sombre realism and humour to turn it into a hopeful fable.
Miguel Delibes won the Premio Nadal in 1947 for «La sombra del ciprés es alargada», before publishing this novel.
