War has been raging for ten years; the narrator’s two sons have disappeared. Now he and his wife relocate to the Transparent City, where transparency is the top priority. A peaceful life seems possible. But the narrator resists a world without secrets. A dystopian novel, awarded the Premio Alfaguara de Novela: »A luminous fable about exile and loss, about the meaning of parenthood and affection«, said the jury.
