«Off-side» is the contemporary fiction novel by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (648 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in the Madrid of the era and almost without narration or descriptions: a varied group of marginalised characters exposes their conflicts of conscience through dialogues, monologues and fantasies. With irony and parody, the author offers a critical and pessimistic view of contemporary society and the loss of humanistic values.
Work originally published in 1969; this edition appeared in 1999 as the fifth volume of the Biblioteca Torrente Ballester, in the El libro de bolsillo collection of Alianza Editorial.
For readers of Spanish fiction interested in dialogue-driven novels with social criticism.
