«Un árbol caído» is the generational novel by Rafael Reig, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
In 1979, friendly families with an anti-Franco past live together in El Tomillar; the return of Luis Lamana disrupts the development. Twenty-five years later, Julián, son of one of them, reconstructs their lives and investigates who informed on his mother and why Lamana came back. A chess game found in a notebook serves as a metaphor for that group.
It is volume 853 of the Andanzas collection from Tusquets. It was published on 5 March 2015. ISBN 9788490660454.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in the Transition, family memory, and the traces of Francoism in today's society.
Rafael Reig is a Spanish writer born in Asturias in 1963. He studied philosophy and humanities in Madrid, and then in New York City, completing his PhD in literature on 19th century literary depictions of prostitution.
