El viaje de Marcos

Egales reissues this novel to celebrate that it continues to be a novel that moves and leaves its mark on all kinds of audiences, regardless of gender, age, or sexual orientation. While traveling by train, Marcos remembers the summer of 1970, when, as a teenager, he spent a few days on vacation in Molinosviejos, his grandmother's town. There, in the middle of a bucolic landscape of fields, ponds, and mills, Marcos knew love, discovered his sexuality, suffered hatred, intolerance, and saw how his life changed forever. His brother Gus, grandmother Palmira, cousin Elena, Max the hippy, David and the general's children -young defenders of the dictatorship- populate Marcos' memories. But among all of them, one stands out: Álex, the young miller who will show him a reality hitherto unknown.
