1. Las Leyes De La Frontera
A coming-of-age story in which a teenage narrator becomes fascinated with a charismatic band of young delinquents and is drawn into their world of petty crime, loyalty and ritualized violence; set against Spain’s transition from dictatorship to democracy, the narrative explores friendship, betrayal, the codes that govern outlaw youth, and the lasting, often ambivalent effects those formative years have on the narrator’s identity and sense of morality.
