«Mortal y rosa» is the contemporary novel by Francisco Umbral, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
Umbral evokes the joy of a child and the pain of his loss in a memoir with a strong autobiographical accent and lyrical prose. The narrative reflects on the fragility of happiness, the passage of time, and the awareness of death, and conveys the emotion of watching joy slip away between the pages.
The novel was originally published in 1975; this 2003 edition belongs to the Autores Españoles e Iberoamericanos collection.
A read for those interested in contemporary Spanish narrative and in books of memoir and elegy.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
