Una casa en el desierto

A young newly married couple arrives from Barcelona to settle in a desolate town in the middle of nowhere. There, the husband will be the manager of a new foreign company dedicated to the recycling of metallic waste that for the locals is simply a junkyard. The family continues to grow to add five children, while the marriage is draining and the plant's activity is increasingly doubtful. There is talk of trucks without brand or signs, full of cans of rare content. And one night they all attend in astonishment to an event that changes the life of the family, the town and the desert that surrounds them. A house in the desert is the story of some characters and a landscape. A novel that returns to the reader the echoes of the best Spanish narrative, and that enshrines a writer with a long career, a disciple of Ferlosio and with a literary stature that frames him alongside the great names of contemporary Spanish novels.
