LA GRAN TRILOGÍA NARRATIVA DE VICENT SOBRE NUESTRA HISTORIA RECIENTE «Su literatura se asemeja más al fuelle de un acordeón, que pliega y despliega el tiempo para crear, con finísimas variaciones, una misma melodía: la memoria fermentada . Paco Cerdà, Babelia Entre 2011 y 2015 Manuel Vicent publicó tres novelas que conforman una serie sobre la España contemporánea. Si en la primera de ellas, Aguirre, el magnífico, tomó al duque de Alba como eje para contar la época del franquismo, en El azar de la mujer rubia son Carmen Díez de Rivera y un Adolfo Suárez ya desmemoriado las columnas en las que se vertebra el relato de la Transición. Por último, en Desfile de ciervos, un retrato de la familia real pintado durante décadas por Antonio López muestra cómo la utopía democrática acabó desguazándose. En estos libros hay picaresca, casi esperpento literario, hay humor e ironía, pero, sobre todo, prevalece la capacidad magistral de Vicent para retratar personajes y para contar nuestra historia. Alfaguara publica en un volumen la gran trilogía narrativa sobre nuestro pasado reciente: nadie sabe narrar este país con el ingenio, el humor y la ironía de Manuel Vicent. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION VICENT'S GREAT NARRATIVE TRILOGY ABOUT SPAIN'S RECENT HISTORY Between 2011 and 2015, Manuel Vicent published three novels that conform a series about contemporary Spain. In his first novel, Aguirre: The Magnificent, he turned the Duke of Alba into his narrative focus to describe the age of Francoism. In The Blond Woman's Fate, Carmen Díez de Rivera and an already forgetful Alfonso Suárez became the vertebrae of a transition tale. Lastly, in Fawn Parade, a royal family portrait crafted along decades by Antonio López shows how the democratic utopia ended up scraped. In these books we find some picaresque, almost grotesque literature, humor, and irony, but above all, Vicent's masterful ability to create characters and recount Spanish history prevails. Alfaguara presents this great narrative trilogy about Spain's recent past in a single volume: no one but Manuel Vicent knows how to describe Spain with his kind of ingenuity, humor, and irony.
