«Contra el viento del norte» is the epistolary romantic novel by Daniel Glattauer, published by Alfaguara in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Leo Leike replies out of courtesy to an email sent by mistake by Emmi, and between them an electronic dialogue arises from which they cannot (nor want to) escape. Although it seems inevitable that they will end up meeting in person, the idea disturbs them so much that they prefer to postpone it. The novel asks whether emotions born in writing would survive a real encounter.
First part of the series «Contra el viento del norte», which continues in «Cada siete olas». Originally published in German as «Gut gegen Nordwind» in 2006, finalist for the German Book Prize.
Recommended reading from age 16, for those seeking a contemporary romantic novel about relationships in the digital age.
Daniel Glattauer is an Austrian writer and former journalist. He was born in Vienna, where he still lives and works. A former regular columnist for Der Standard, a national daily newspaper, he is best known for his dialogic epistolary novel Gut gegen Nordwind and its sequel Every Seventh Wave .
