About the Book

In the late 1970s, as Spain was adrift between the death of Franco and the rebirth of
democracy, people were moving from the poor south to the cities of the north in search
of a better life. But the work, when there was any, was poorly paid and the housing
squalid. Out of this world of limited opportunities a generation of delinquents arose
whose prospects were stifled and whose rebellion would be brief and violent…
One summer’s day in Gerona a bespectacled, sixteenyearold
Ignacio Cañas, known to
his few friends as Gafitas, is working in an amusement arcade, when a charismatic
teenager walks in with the most beautiful girl Cañas has ever seen. Zarco and Tere take
over his pinball machine and his life. Thirty years on and now a successful criminal
defence lawyer, Cañas has tried to put that long, hot summer of drugs, yearning and
delinquency behind him. But when Tere appears in his office and asks him to represent
El Zarco, who has been in prison all this time, what else can Gafitas do but accept.
A powerful novel of love and hate, of loyalty and betrayal, of true integrity and the prison
celebrity can become, Outlaws confirms Javier Cercas as one of the most thrilling
novelists writing anywhere in the world today.
