«La última función» is the contemporary novel by Luis Landero, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
A group of retirees from a village in the Sierra de Madrid recalls the Sunday in 1994 when Tito Gil, a famous actor, returned to propose a great theatrical performance to attract visitors and curb depopulation. To play opposite him, they need a great actress, and so Paula arrives, a woman whose dreams have been crushed by the routine of work. The work explores whether art can transform those who take part in it, in a story of unexpected love with numerous humorous supporting characters.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection, in which it appears as number 1057 according to a supplier's records. Luis Landero is the 2022 National Prize for Literature (Premio Nacional de las Letras).
