«Los girasoles ciegos» is a collection of short stories by Alberto Méndez, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Four stories set in postwar Spain share the same backdrop: the defeat and silence of the vanquished. A captain who renounces victory, a young poet who flees with a pregnant companion, a prisoner who prefers truth to imposture, and a deacon who hides his lust behind religiosity form a choral portrait of repression and memory.
It is number 354 in the Narrativas hispánicas collection. Published in 2004, it received the Premio de la Crítica (2005), the Premio Nacional de Narrativa (2005), and the Premio Setenil (2004).
For readers of historical fiction and Spanish literature seeking stories about the postwar period, repression, and memory.
