Luis Sanz, ‘Una callada sombra’

Traveler since he was a teenager and polyglot: he has lived in Holland, Italy, USA, and even in Japan and China, both for work and personal reasons. During all his travels, he has always been accompanied by the literature, an interest that he has turned into poems (Las gaviotas de Hielo, Ediciones Fernando Torres), short stories and opinion articles, the latter, published in several newspapers and magazines.

Now, Luis Sanz, father of two students at MIT and settled in Malaga, publishes his first novel, Una sombra callada (Alfar Ediciones), on sale next week. Two members of a clandestine revolutionary party are the protagonists of the story, developed between the end of the Franco dictatorship and the beginning of the democratic era in Spain. Action and tension mark a writing of growing intrigue in which the author brings to the table issues like the weight of ideology on individuals, the fanaticism “as a disease of the mind”, the ethics and even the resentment and jealousy.

Next March, the author will give some talks at MIT School, so that students can learn firsthand the details of the creative process and the publication of his novel, to which we wish much success.
