«Últimas tardes con Teresa» is the novel by Juan Marsé, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback, in Spanish.
The story pits Manolo Reyes, nicknamed Pijoaparte, a marginal young man and motorcycle thief, against Teresa, a university student from Barcelona's bourgeoisie. The setting is Barcelona in the 1950s: love between two opposing worlds intersects with class hypocrisy, the naivety of political commitment, and the bitterness of losers.
Originally published in 1966, it received the Biblioteca Breve Prize.
For readers of classic Spanish fiction interested in social portraiture and a love story with a period backdrop.
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.
