Nada

Andrea comes to Barcelona to study Literature. Her dreams immediately collide with the atmosphere of tension and violent emotions that reigns at her grandmother's house. Andrea recounts the contrast between this sordid family microcosm -populated by strange and exciting beings- and the fragile cordiality of their university relationships, centered on the beautiful and bright Ena. Finally, the two worlds meet and collide with violence. Nada is a novel that has left an indelible mark on the contemporary Spanish novel. When the book ends, the reader is sure of being able to find, around the corner, a pale and sad girl, with all the strength of her youth condensed in her gaze. It is Andrea, absorbed, wanting something, without knowing what. Like the rest of the protagonists, she was born into real life by a prodigy of artistic creation.
