«El esperado» is the coming-of-age novel by José María Guelbenzu, published by Siruela in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In the late 1950s, a boy of modest origins spends the summer at the house of a school friend in northern Spain. There he witnesses an adult drama he does not understand, though his gaze proves essential. The novel recounts his passage from childhood protection to adult ambiguity, with love, death and cruelty as its axes.
It is part of the Nuevos Tiempos collection, number 220. The novel was originally published in 1984.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and coming-of-age novels, especially those seeking stories of personal discovery and family drama.
José María Guelbenzu Fernández, also known as J.M. Guelbenzu, was a Spanish writer and literary critic. His work includes both experimental fiction and crime novels, particularly a long-running series featuring judge Mariana de Marco.
