In 'Esperando el porvenir', Carmen Martín Gaite pays tribute to Ignacio Aldecoa, reliving the era of the mid-century generation. Through evocations and anecdotes, the author remembers friends from her youth and reconstructs the Salamanca classrooms and the Madrid streets of the post-war period. This book not only offers impressionistic brushstrokes of memoirs, but also a valuable analysis of the contemporary Spanish short story and a testimony of the social inequalities of the time.
