Fuga lenta talks about the sentimental education of Juan, in the crucial point of entering into adult life. The economic and emotional collapses of a family, the school, foster homes, the first love and everything that shapes us. Through a precise narrative, the boy’s glance into these matters discovers our world showing it back to us candidly. Far from resentment, this story underlines an immutable personal truth. Fuga lenta is a huge discovery in the contemporary Spanish narrative.

Press reviews:

It is not a novice novel but the result of the quiet and tenacious work of a writer that owns a personal voice, written with care and wisdom, as an oriental gardener would grow, prune and clean a gorgeous, inner and secret garden that now stares into our eyes. It has an exceptional quality. Don’t miss it”. Juan Gracia Armendáriz, Diario de Navarra

“Through a technique of a distancing narrative, Martínez de las Rivas, makes us forget that it could be a personal story, and we immerse ourselves on his clear prose, selective at formal resources and rich in vocabulary”. Jesús Arribas, Diario de Ávila
