«Fragmentos de Apocalipsis» is the novel by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, published by Booket in paperback (536 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative unfolds in Villasanta de la Estrella, a town reminiscent of the Jacobean capital. There, reality and magic alternate with humour, irony and eroticism, while the author, turned into a character, meditates on the different ways of constructing his story and portrays the city's inhabitants with a grotesque, esperpento-like gaze.
It is part of the Clásicos Contemporáneos Comentados collection, with commentary by Nil Santiáñez Tió, and is the second instalment of Torrente Ballester's fantastic trilogy.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in an ironic novel with a cultured register.
Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was a Spanish writer associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
