«No soy un libro: Los trenes del verano» is the novel by José María Merino, published by Siruela in 1992 in paperback (212 pages, in Spanish).
The text invites readers to question literary conventions and to reflect on reading and identity: what a book is, what role the reader plays, and how the narrative experience is defined. The play on the title is the starting point of a proposal that goes beyond the anecdote.
The work is known as «Los trenes del verano», while this cover reads «No soy un libro». It is part of the Las Tres edades collection (no. 16).
Given its youthful and literary orientation, it is aimed at young and adult readers interested in Spanish-language fiction.
