LATE LOVES REVIEW

The Extremaduran writer and journalist José V. Serradilla Muñoz has put on the memories of a lifetime to write his new book late love. Our editorial Ibiza Editions presents this work after its two years of literary silence of the author since the appearance of the historical novel set in Ibiza Villain, the madman of the port.

The narrative uses the stretch that the protagonist gives his skin when shaving to trigger a cascade of memories that take him from childhood to the present day.. in them, the common thread is love in all its versions: that of the parents and that of the children, in the camaraderie with friends, the sexual, the sentimental, the one that is enjoyed and the one that escaped. José V. Serradilla does not forget homosexual relationships either, at the same time he knows how to give each character the different perspectives of maturity or immaturity with which age makes them see the affection.

As a final note, late love presents an open end to all kinds of interpretations. So the task of clarifying the entire novel from a gloomy point of view is left to the reader, joyful the ironic.
