«Un hombre que se parecía a Orestes» is the novel by Álvaro Cunqueiro published by RBA in hardback (221 pages, in Spanish).
A free reworking of the classical myth of Orestes: after the murder of Agamemnon, the hero called to avenge his father keeps postponing the revenge, so that the ancient characters move through everyday situations in an indefinite era where the archaic coexists with the modern. The narrative combines humour, fantasy and digressions.
It won the Premio Nadal in 1968; this 1994 edition belongs to the Narrativa Actual collection.
For readers of Spanish-language fiction who enjoy reworkings of classical myths imbued with humour and fantasy.
