Ray Loriga

Premio Alfaguara de novela de 2017

"Those who can tell a story will always have company."

A refugee family is forced to abandon their house and land. Seeking shelter and the promise of a safe future in a crystal city. On their way they cross a landscape devastated by war. However, life without suffering and uncertainty is not a triumph, but surrender.

In this tale Ray Loriga explores the dignity of rebelliousness. To claim one's own misery, to distrust happiness, to admire a victory from afar: herein roots our human condition. If it doesn't hurt it isn't life.
