«Los misterios de Madrid» is the adventure novel by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Seix Barral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The disappearance of the Santo Cristo de la Greña leads Lorenzo Quesada to a Madrid of the early nineties, as recognisable as it is ghostly. With an ironic register, the novel becomes a modern-day «Cándido»: the detective escapade strings together misunderstandings, chases and outlandish characters with expressive inventiveness and a humane gaze.
The work was originally published in 1992; this 2001 edition belongs to the Biblioteca Breve collection.
Antonio Muñoz Molina is a Spanish writer, a full member of the Royal Spanish Academy since 8 June 1995. He received the 1991 Premio Planeta, the 2013 Jerusalem Prize, and the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
