«Dos días de setiembre» is the novel by José Manuel Caballero Bonald, published by Seix Barral in paperback (316 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a small Andalusian town during the grape harvest, the novel portrays on different levels the tensions between the rich, the poor, and a middle class dependent on local bosses. Wine, omnipresent, articulates the relationships between the characters and the landscape, while the memory of the civil war and the lack of horizons condition their lives.
The novel was originally published in 1961 and won the Biblioteca Breve Prize that year; the present Seix Barral edition dates from 1984.
For a general audience interested in contemporary Spanish fiction and novels with social criticism and historical background.
