Un amor en la calle del Pez

Irene, who arrives in Madrid fed up with her boyfriend, her friends and her mother, runs into Manuel, a young professor who is playing mus with some friends at the college bar. They don't speak that first time, but each has noticed the other. They will go out together soon. They will discover a happy world full of songs. Life, with its trials and tribulations, will be something that happens to others. Yours will be perfect. Manu will start to work piecework and travel by obligation. Irene will finish her degree and will face some oppositions. What happens when nothing happens but everything happens? Javier Zapata takes us to Madrid at the turn of the century and shows us streets, corners and characters so familiar that one has the feeling of having known them forever (or, perhaps, of having been one of them). A unique, emotional novel, tinged with truth and music. A lot of music.
