Part of “los novísimos” (the very newest) or the generation of 1968, Javier Marías, like his contemporaries, breaks free from the realist and social realist tendencies that dominated Spanish literature for most of the century. Corazón tan blanco is his seventh novel and arguably one of his best. Narrated through the voice of Juan Ranz, this post-existential suspenseful novel transports us to Havana, Madrid, Geneva, and New York as the protagonist investigates his past and questions the meaning of his very existence.
