«Mortal y rosa» is Francisco Umbral's prose elegy, published by Austral in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Umbral starts from the death of his son to build an extensive interior monologue. The author turns the revelation of loss into a meditation on childhood, memory and mourning, and presents death as a cathartic and liberating force that transforms his personal experience.
The work belongs to Austral's Contemporánea collection, was originally published in 1975, and this edition includes a prologue by José Manuel Caballero Bonald.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and works that approach mourning from an intimate and literary perspective.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
