Tarde, mal y nunca

Synopsis of Tarde, mal y nunca

In present-day Barcelona, two worlds collide: the world of light and tourism, often praised, and the world of shadows that Carlos Zanón reveals in this noir novel. Raw and impactful, 'Tarde, mal y nunca' delves into the marginal environments of the city, showing how its characters interact with the darkness of society: drugs, violence, and prostitution. Epi murders his colleague Tanveer Hussein for stealing his girlfriend, Tiffany Brissette, hoping everything will return to normal. However, his normality involves surviving in his neighborhood, dealing with problems with the authorities, crisis, unemployment, immigration, and the lack of scruples of those around him. What will the future hold? With a frenetic pace, Zanón portrays a Barcelona far from idyllic, showing its rawest and most honest side.
