«Mortal y rosa» is Francisco Umbral's lyrical elegy, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Umbral evokes the death of his son in a long monologue where childhood and memory merge with grief. Loss becomes a cathartic and liberating force, and the prose, lyrical and essayistic in tone, reveals a deep nihilism.
Work originally published in 1975. Edition by Miguel García-Posada, number 393 in the Letras Hispánicas collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish literature interested in lyrical prose and personal memory.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
