«El somier» is the novel by Luisa Castro, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative is set on both sides of a border: the world, where union houses are raffled off, sperm whales beach themselves and factories close, and the Foreigner, a territory of dreams where the sea is calm and couples dance. Crossing that line means venturing into the unknown, and returning to reality can cost one's sanity. Written from what is seen and heard, the novel portrays the end of one world and the beginning of another, with a broken bed as one of the monsters that reason is late to explain.
First novel by Luisa Castro, published in 1990 in the Narrativas Hispánicas collection of Anagrama, number 102 in the series. It was a finalist for the Herralde Novel Prize in 1990.
