LA BIOGRAFÍA DE UN PAÍS EN TRANSICIÓN
«Del Molino no hace más que usar a su modo libérrimo ese género híbrido, casi infinitamente versátil y omnívoro que llamamos novela . -Javier Cercas, El País
«Del Molino escribe con ligereza, pero en todo momento se refleja su rico mundo político, literario y cultural . -André van Loon, The Spectator «Quizá empecemos a apreciar ser hijos de la Transición más que nietos de la guerra civil . Se cumplen cuarenta años del primer triunfo del partido socialista en las elecciones generales (octubre de 1982) y de la llegada al poder de un joven abogado sevillano, Felipe González, que en 2022 ha llegado a los ochenta años. Un tal González narra un momento crucial de la historia de España: la Transición, siguiendo el hilo biográfico de su gran protagonista. La figura de Felipe González vertebra el relato, pero su foco es una España que pasa en menos de una generación de la misa y el partido único a la democracia avanzada y la completa integración europea. Una biografía documentada con testimonios de primera mano, crónicas, hemeroteca y el pulso de un narrador que ha contado como nadie la España de hoy. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE BIOGRAPHY OF A TRANSITIONING COUNTRY.
Del Molino does nothing but use this hybrid, almost infinitely versatile, and omnivorous genre we call the novel in his own absolutely free manner. --Javier Cercas, El País
Del Molino writes with lightness, and yet reflects his rich political, literary, and cultural world at all times. --André van Loon, The Spectator
Perhaps we can start appreciating being children of the Transition instead of grandchildren of the Civil War. It has been forty years since the first win of the socialist party in general elections (October, 1982) and the ascension to power of a young Sevillian lawyer, Felipe González, who turned eighty in 2022. A Man Called González relates a crucial moment in Spanish history: the Transition, following the biographical thread of its great protagonist. Felipe González' character vertebrates the story, but the focus is a country that, in less than one generation, goes from Sunday mass and a single political party, to advanced democracy and complete European integration. A biography documented with first-hand testimonies, chronicles, archives, and a storyteller's pulse that describes modern-day Spain like no other.
