«El hombre de espaldas» is the novel by Pilar Adón published by Editorial Ópera Prima in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative approaches the world of Sofía Freyre, a girl who never takes off her tiny pink dress, and gradually reveals an ambiguous and unhealthy bond between her and her brother Jakob. Everything happens in a damp, claustrophobic forest, with planes that always seem about to crash.
The first edition was published in 1999 within the Narrativa Ópera Prima collection, and the work won the I Premio Ópera Prima de Nuevos Narradores.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking psychological tension and an oppressive atmosphere.
