Solo quedamos nosotros

When the pandemic broke out in Madrid, Jaime Rodríguez Z. was preparing a course on the representation of the male figure in literature. But he contracted COVID-19 and they changed all his plans. He then began a demanding process of research on himself. And he began to write about his father and mother, his fears, his personal experience with fatherhood, his friends and his macho conversations, his panic attacks, his migration and his own family, which he forms together with his son, daughter and the also writers Gabriela Wiener and Rocío Lanchares Bardají. The result of this process of memory and criticism is this impressive book of autobiographical stories and chronicles, which masterfully combine storytelling, poetry, journalism and confession.
