An electrifying debut from a major new Spanish writer that has become an international bestseller.
A young boy has fled his home. Crouched in his hiding place he hears the shouts of the men hunting him. When the search party has passed, what lies before him is an infinite, arid plain, one he must cross in order to escape those from whom he's fleeing. One night he crosses paths with an old goatherd and from that moment nothing will ever be the same for either of them."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
JESÚS CARRASCO was born in Badajoz in 1972 and currently lives in Seville. Since 1996 he has worked as an advertising copy writer. His first novel, Out in the Open, was declared Book of the Year by booksellers in Madrid. The Dutch translation was longlisted for the European Literature Prize 2014. Out in the Open will be published in thirteen countries around the world.
"This novel's deep theme is a peculiar kind of heroism - that of claiming, in a world stripped to necessity, a human remainder of grace: the choice to bear witness to ideals that are more precious than survival and that exist only in our affirmation of them. Out in the Open is a harrowing, humane, and very beautiful book" -- Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You "The writing is austere with flourishes of great beauty from an exceptional translator" -- Rosie Goldsmith * Independent * "Its rural lexicon enriches a tale told with savage precision, and filled with memorable passages" -- Julius Purcell * The Times Literary Supplement * "Undeniably impressive and compelling because everything is everywhere so thoroughly and keenly imagined and realised" -- Allan Massie * Scotsman * "[A] searing, beautifully observed debut" -- Eithne Farry * Sunday Express *
