«Retrato de un hombre inmaduro» is the novel by Luis Landero, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
A man of about 65, perhaps on his last night in a hospital, tells the story of his life. Guided by memory, he rescues with humour adventures lived and observed; he always preferred to contemplate the world rather than take part in it. Love, freedom, power, horror, beauty, friendship and absurdity slip into his search for meaning in the mystery of living.
Published in 2009, the novel is part of the Andanzas collection from Tusquets Editores, number 706.
For readers of contemporary Spanish-language fiction who enjoy novels of introspection, memory and humour.
