On the Night of Saint John in 1971, darkness took hold of Pasaje Begoña forever. A large raid by the police ended that corridor in Torremolinos where freedom and respect reigned; a special place where visitors could show themselves as they truly were, regardless of their gender, race, or sexual orientation.
Shouts, cries, wails. Magic and elegance clashed with the brutality and injustice of the Franco regime. Rifles against sequins. Can you fly when your wings have been torn off? A forced marriage between a homosexual and an intellectually disabled woman, a lovestruck waiter, an addict, and a woman trapped in a body that does not belong to her mingle in this novel that pays a well-deserved tribute to this important episode in Spain’s LGTBI history.
Dare to discover Pasaje Begoña guided by Ismael Lozano Latorre. Dare to read the long-awaited novel by the author of Vagos y Maleantes, which has won the hearts of thousands of readers.
