Contra la España vacía

In its publication, Empty Spain surprised by its unusual mix of genres: travel book, literary essay, novel, social chronicle... And it has already become a recent classic about the look of a writer to his country. Now, Against Empty Spain does not refute or correct my previous book, but rather tries to scratch off all the layers of misunderstandings that have stuck to it. [...] This exercise inevitably takes me back to Spain, what the hell is this country and why is it important to keep turning the corners of the map. Reading this unclassifiable book, which also talks about flags and matches, is equivalent to taking a long walk chatting with dozens of writers, from Harari to Tolstoy, from Solnit to Pla, whose ideas Sergio del Molino gathers while traveling through a country that no one has counted as him.
