«Las afueras» is a novel by Spanish writer Luis Goytisolo, published in 1979 by Argos Vergara in paperback (220 pages, in Spanish).
Seven interconnected episodes follow several homonymous characters in Barcelona and in an unidentified town, the outskirts. The contrast between both spaces shows similar social structures: oppression of owners over their employees, poverty that pushes to crime, and absence of authentic human relationships, with characters forced to fend for themselves.
This edition belongs to the Libros DB collection of Argos Vergara. The work was awarded the Biblioteca Breve Prize.
For readers of 20th-century Spanish narrative interested in social and denunciatory literature.
