Finally, the triumph of love

  • Nothing to apologize:: Alberto Ladrón Arana.One to another.316 pages. 21 €
The novel Zer barkatuta ez starts from a moment of crisis in which the protagonist is immersed. Mikel Izu leaves her wife and, after a supposed depression, moves away from her work. Meanwhile, a brother who did not see him a long time ago has made his own; a human finger found in his house and an aerial document with a German name start a story with an unrealistic tone that Mikel did not expect. Characters of all kinds start to cross in the life of the protagonist: An Andalusian girl looking for Mikel's brother, an enigmatic old man with one ear, Ukrainian drug traffickers, a jealous Ludophian husband, among others, Jews and Nazis who survived a bloody event that occurred in 1941.

In a confusing panorama and without apparent connection, the chain of relations between the characters will be built through continuous unexpected events. The crosses of the different stories will build a single wall and, in parallel, we will see the hidden past of each character drawn. Burglar Arana has demonstrated an almost inexhaustible capacity for his imagination, through 316 pages full of mysteries that manage to attract the reader’s attention. There is no time to think, the unrelenting action takes the reader hand in hand. It has used a light writing that fits perfectly into a mystery novel and in which it helps the tendency to humor and irony involved in the words of the protagonist. Many times when we move in the depths of that fictional level, the gestures that make us laugh are thankful, because they remind us that we are in reality.

Ladrón Arana has made Pamplona the central stage, a space that may be “too close” to us. However, the lack of concreteness of its streets and places, as well as the fact that the intrigue has spread to other spaces, increases the chances that the reader will immerse himself in fiction on his own, as occurred in the novel Ahaztuak pentua (2009). In that novel that had as stage Pamplona, pretending to be too realistic, the force of the mystery of crimes was quite weak, at least for the taste of the final pamploneses.Al, as in the revenge of the

Forgotten, the things of love become important. In this case we did not find a love triangle, but we heard the title of the novel in the protagonist’s mouth, saying that “there is nothing to forgive.” In addition to being an interim indication of chained crimes and mysterious events, he conveys the feeling that he wanted to highlight the triumph of the love relationship that has been made throughout the narrative, as if he wanted to confirm that the love crisis of the protagonist that gave rise to the novel has been overcome. It's just one of the sensations that can be triggered by the end of the novel, one that prefers the laughter of the madmen it causes.
