In 'La buena letra', Rafael Chirbes immerses us in the life of Ana, who shares with her son fragments of an existence marked by small miseries and complex family relationships. The author chooses not to focus on the great historical events, but on the intimate and everyday, exploring the lives of characters wounded by betrayal and disloyalty. This novel is inspired by the Balzacian conception that the novel is the private history of nations, revealing the mechanisms that drive history, where each generation is built on the ashes of the previous one and power changes hands under the sign of betrayal and suffering.
Rafael Chirbes was a Spanish novelist. He was born in Tavernes de la Valldigna in Valencia. He is the author of several novels, two of which have won the Premio de la Crítica de narrativa castellana - Crematorio (2007) and En la orilla (2013). The latter also won the Premio Nacional de Narrativa.
