"An essential literary ethnography that will endure the passing of time and will become a reference to explain the age we live in. It is a testimony about Spain, the country we are and yet we ignore." --Brenda Navarro "I am envious of the life my parents had at my age." This is the first line in Fair, and this simple statement is what turned its author, a young literary debutant not yet thirty years old, into the most celebrated writer in Spain, in the year 2021. The protagonist, a country girl who moves to Madrid to succeed as a writer and soon realizes a life of Netflix, iPhone, and designer coffee shops is not for her, bolsters an exciting tale upon memories, insights, and dialogues about a world that fades away, even for those that haven't lived it. A working-class family with a carny side and a rural one, a free childhood, and a youth full of questions and reassessments, told by a wild and personal voice that turned this book into a classic for thousands of readers.
