Sången om en son
It is not often that an author successfully unleashes a riot of issues within a story which, far from turning the reader off, locks them into an uncomfortable embrace, steering them head-first into a volatile quest of trouble and turmoil. This is faultlessly accomplished by Joel Mauricio Isabel Ortiz in this debut novel.
TRANSLATED EXTRACT
from The Story of a Son by Joel Mauricio Isabel Ortiz
Joel Mauricio Isabel Ortiz's debut novel is a painful and at times brutal account of a tumultuous time in the life of its protagonist Angel, a young non-binary person spiralling in a world of alcohol, drugs, sex and loneliness.
