«Savoir perdre» is David Trueba's choral novel, published by Flammarion in paperback (444 pages, in French).
In present-day Madrid, four very different characters —a teenager, an unemployed executive, an elderly piano teacher and an Argentine footballer— experience the longing to succeed and the weight of defeat. Around them parade criminals, prostitutes and undocumented immigrants as well as businesspeople and celebrities, composing a choral fresco of society and its contradictions.
The original novel, «Saber perder», won the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana in 2008; the French translation is by Anne Plantagenet.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary Spanish narrative seeking choral stories with urban characters.
David Rodríguez Trueba is a Spanish filmmaker and author.
