«La última juerga» is the novel by José Ángel Mañas, winner of the Ateneo de Sevilla Prize, published by Algaida Editores in hardback (392 pages, in Spanish).
The novel starts with a group of friends who, in their early twenties, lived on the edge at the Kronen bar, amid sex, alcohol and drugs, with occasional flirtations with death. Twenty-five years later, the news that shakes Carlos's life drives him to reunite with Pedro, whom he hasn't seen since then. The reunion with the past points to a journey into maturity: excesses have given way to stable jobs, families and wine tastings, but unresolved accounts remain open.
The work is part of the Algaida Literaria collection and won the 51st Ateneo de Sevilla Novel Prize in 2019. José Ángel Mañas wrote a sequel to Historias del Kronen, his 1994 novel.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in reunions with iconic Generation X characters and in stories about the passage of time, friendship and maturity.
José Ángel Mañas is a Spanish writer. Mañas is often included as a member of the generation of neorealist Spanish writers from the 1990s, along with Juan Gracia, Gabriela Bustelo, Ray Loriga and Lucía Etxebarria. His books have been translated into several languages.
