«Camino de sirga» is a contemporary fiction novel by writer Jesús Moncada, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (336 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the memory of Mequinenza, a town between the Ebro and Segre rivers whose mining and river past ends up buried under a reservoir. Through a mosaic of characters —boatmen, miners, café owners or bourgeois— with interwoven memories, Moncada recalls a century of history of a city condemned to disappear.
Translation from Catalan by Joaquín Jordá. Number 83 in the Narrativas hispánicas collection.
Contemporary fiction work for readers of literary novels interested in choral stories and the memory of places.
