Overview
El cuarto de atrás, Premio Nacional de Narrativa en 1978, es un libro de memorias, un ensayo literario y una novela hilvanada de relatos, nacidos de una larga e íntima conversación de la autora consigo misma.
Durante una noche desapacible de insomnio, C, la escritora protagonista de esta historia (alter ego de la propia Carmen Martín Gaite), recibe la visita de un misterioso desconocido con el que mantendrá una larga conversación en el cuarto de atrás de la vivienda. En ese diálogo, la autora comparte recuerdos de infancia y de juventud, así como personales reflexiones acerca del oficio de escribir, la opresiva condición de ser mujer en la España de posguerra o sus ideas acerca de la memoria, el amor y la búsqueda de la identidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Back Room, winner of the National Narrative Prize in 1978, is at once a memoir, a literary essay, and a novel woven from stories born out of a long and intimate conversation the author holds with herself.
On a bleak, sleepless night, C, the writer who narrates this story (the alter ego of Carmen Martín Gaite herself), receives a visit from a mysterious stranger with whom she engages in a long conversation in the back room of her home. Throughout this dialogue, the author shares childhood and youth memories, as well as personal reflections on the craft of writing, the oppressive condition of being a woman in postwar Spain, and her thoughts on memory, love, and the search for identity.
