En algún cielo (In Some Sky)

Ciudad de Alcalá de Narrativa Prize

A young man who will never forget the tears shed by a strange and unknown woman, an exile who dreams two dreams in one whilst his new couple confuses him, a man who travels at dawn in a tireless train to escape from that which is inescapable, a war veteran who lives in the capital of the country against which he fought, a psychopath who kidnaps his ex-girlfriend and decides to have her murdered, a novice writer who confronts himself as he gathers information on an unforgettable family history… All these events, the characters’ reasons to do or not to do something, are the hard core and also the narrative power-engine of these six short stories that compose In Some Sky.

Obsession, fear, perception, confidence, resentment, as well as reality and silence, are the elements which Marcelo Luján is able to weave into a vigorous and renovated prose.
