A smell of rancid sex, difficult loves and love complexes, discreet chords of boleros, fear to say, to remain silent, to exist, dark presences with a smell of incense, in the fifties Compostela make up In the core of silence; a novel written by Méndez Ferrín, a giant of Galicean letters.
That ethereal setting is full of whores, university teachers, poets, fascist rabbles, students, coffee meetings with an audience which do not understand, crazy people, post boxes which burn, companions who beat in silence and inhabitants who are not present
but are felt; in paving alleys.
This work, a reference in the contemporary narrative, written in a galloping prose, gives off a wonderful and evoking language, which makes the reader live all that created by others more than understand it.
