Abstract

A few years after his death in 2020, interest in the narrative work of Juan Marsé (1933-2020) is still alive and well. The survival of an author over half a century, both in the literary imagination of the general public and in academic criticism, which continues to interpret his work with new perspectives and to make significant contributions to the study of his figure and of Spanish literature in the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, is undoubtedly unusual.
