«El libro de Rachel» is the novel by Martin Amis, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Charles Highway, a clever and narcissistic young man, wants to lose his virginity before turning twenty as a rite of passage; the affair with Rachel becomes an autobiographical and self-analytical operation. The novel, satirical and sceptical, deals with the sexual revolution, the seventies, rock, the generational conflict and the myth of youth.
Original title: «The Rachel Papers». Originally published in 1973, it won the Somerset Maugham Award. Translation by Antonio Mauri. Anagrama Compactos collection, number 158.
For readers of contemporary fiction and coming-of-age novels, with an interest in twentieth-century British narrative and ironic generational portraits.
