«La recta intención» is a book of four novellas by Andrés Barba, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Four novellas featuring an anorexic teenager, an obsessed marathon runner, a woman contemplating her mother's decrepitude, and an old homosexual lover. Their stories explore lack of communication, guilt, fear of rejection, and surrender to desire as a path toward inevitable tragedy, in parables of modernity.
The book was originally published in 2002, is number 332 in the Narrativas hispánicas collection, and corresponds to the first edition.
For those seeking contemporary fiction in Spanish: stories with strong psychological weight and tragic tone about relationships with others.
