About the Book

Una de las grandes novelas sobre la transición y la historia de una adolescencia al final del franquismo.

Fosa común -fosa que alude al lugar del olvido y la injusta arbitrariedad de la memoria- empieza en los años de la transición española con la narración limpia, cercana y divertida de Jaime Arzain, un adolescente en trance de descubrir el amor, el sexo, la amistad, la música o la literatura en una ciudad de provincias castrense mientras el país asiste al desmoronamiento del franquismo, las primeras elecciones constituyentes y los constantes atentados de ETA en un ambiente de miedo, esperanza y desconcierto.

Años después, un Arzain maduro vuelve a esa ciudad enterrada para dialogar con las sombras de su pasado, evocando las ruinas de un mundo perdido y enfrentándose a aquel período de su vida recobrado y defraudado al mismo tiempo, como si toda la experiencia cobrara inesperadamente una naturaleza póstuma.

Finalmente, el propio autor lleva a cabo una exhaustiva y absorbente investigación del caso que ha asomado a lo largo de toda la novela sin llegar nunca a detallarse: el asesinato en 1975 de una madre y sus cuatro hijos a manos del padre de familia, capitán del ejército. Esta masacre indignamente silenciada abrocha el trasunto de una experiencia moral íntima y colectiva.

Fosa común, tan llena de humor como de gravedad, confirma que Javier Pastor es uno de los escritores más ambiciosos y radicales de la literatura española contemporánea.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Unmarked Grave--alluding to a place of oblivion and the unfair capriciousness of memory--starts in the years of Spanish transition with the clean, intimate, and entertaining narration of Jaime Arzain: a teenager in the trance of discovering love, sex, friendship, music, and literature in a military province while the country watches the collapse of Francoism, the first constitutional elections, and the constant attacks by ETA in an environment of fear, hope, and confusion.
Years later, a mature Arzain returns to the buried city to converse with the shadows of his past, recalling the ruins of a lost world and facing that time in his life, at once recovered and disappointed, as if the whole experience would unexpectedly take on a posthumous nature.

Finally, the author himself carries out an exhaustive and absorbing investigation of the case that has appeared throughout the novel but not yet presented in detail: the 1975 murder of a mother and her four children at the hands of the father, an army captain. This contemptibly silenced massacre is the embodiment of an intimate and collective moral experience.
Unmarked Grave, as full of humor as gravity, confirms that Javier Pastor is one of the most ambitious and radical writers of contemporary Spanish literature.
