Produktbeschreibung

When the freedom of the night turns to deadly obsession ...

Two budding artists, addicted to a nightlife as dangerous as it is dazzling, explore the dark underbelly of Barcelona's nineties queer counterculture in this LGBT+ novel.

Joaquim, a sensitive painter, and Eduardo, a cynical writer, fall under the aura of Celia, an enigmatic creature of the night. The games they are learning to play, against the backdrop of a city that is also rehearsing a new identity, draw all three into conflict, leading them inexorably towards the truth of Celia's Room.

With echoes of Jean Genet's underworld and Pedro Almodóvar's gender-fluid chaos, Celia's Room explores the raw edges of art, desire and sexuality within the context of Spain's blazing transition from dictatorship to democracy.

"Stunning debut: If you like Kerouac or Isherwood, you will love Celia's Room."

"Nothing is quite as it seems. This book rejoices in ambiguity and ambivalence, successfully capturing the zeitgeist of Barcelona."
