No con un estallido

"After so much living on the outskirts, in the end it is the outskirts that inhabit one". This is what Carla, the protagonist of the novel, thinks. She has long since left the neighborhood behind, but what she cannot leave behind is a subtle feeling of discomfort, of not belonging, of exclusion. Without a social portrait or customs of the periphery, Not with an outbreak narrates Carla's uprooted experience, the way in which her declassification confronts her again with her origin. Carla goes from rejecting the neighborhood to guilt for denying it, from the desire for distinction to the shame of submitting to the taste of a dominant class. The long-awaited class novel in Spain told by a modern narrator. What does a woman who rejects her origin from her neighborhood look for if it is not money or power? We return to the choral novel with characters seeking dignity.
