In 'Happy News in Paper Airplanes,' Juan Marsé transports us to a summer day in the late eighties, where Bruno, a fifteen-year-old, visits Mrs. Pauli, an old woman with a peculiar idea: to launch paper airplanes with good news from her balcony. On the street, Óscar and Jan, two brothers, observe this act in an environment that evokes a past full of life. This short novel is a tribute to memory and happiness, themes that Marsé masterfully addresses, renewing their meaning.
Juan Marsé Carbó was a Spanish novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who used Spanish as his literary language. In 2008, he was awarded the Cervantes Prize, "the Spanish-language equivalent" to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
