Pichula Cuéllar suffers the merciless attack of a dog, and that tragedy, which was meant to stay secret, marks the story of a group of adolescents, Los cachorros, who begin to discover freedom, love and sex. The word of Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, has the agility, sonority and musicality that made him stand out from his first books as one of the most important figures of Spanish American letters; he portrays the Lima upper bourgeoisie with a narration that is at once critical and nostalgic. The image of Xavier Miserachs traces the same story of adolescent transition with other characters and in another geography, the Spanish one, but with the same impetus and zest for life. The visual narration, as dynamic and ambitious as the text, advances with a play of parallel lines that enriches the reading. La Fábrica revives the legendary Palabra e Imagen collection, created by Esther and Oscar Tusquets in 1967: books that are still transgressive today, generating a new language.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
