This is how isolation was - Juan Jose Miyas

In "Thus Was the Isolation," Miyas's brilliant skills are manifested in the ability to tell a story through small details, to address the crisis of the nineties in Spain, which had recently transitioned to democracy without abandoning its corruption afterward. With unmatched ease and fluent language, the novel opens an horizon through which we can see ourselves and pose questions about it. As is usual with Miyas in other works, questions of death, loneliness, and identity dominate the entire narrative, as if the characters, despite their diversity, suffer from the same crisis.
