«Blanco sobre negro» is the autobiography of writer Rubén Gallego, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (180 pages, in Spanish).
The author recounts his time in orphanages and asylums in the Soviet Union, where he met other children with disabilities who, like him, grew up without the support of their families. His brief, unsentimental stories combine the harshness of that life with dignity, solidarity, and refuge in books.
It won the Russian Booker Prize in 2003. The Russian original, «Белое на черном», dates from 2002; this Spanish edition, published in 2004, features a translation by Ricardo San Vicente.
A book for readers of memoirs and testimonies, especially those interested in childhood in the Soviet Union and stories of resilience.
