Tous les caméléons changent de couleur en fonction de leur environnement. Tous ? Non, Simon ne le fait jamais. Et la vérité est qu’il ne le vit pas très bien.

Simón is a highly original bildungsroman set in crucial periods of history for Barcelona: the 1992 Olympic Games, the 2008 economic crisis, the 2017 terrorist attacks and 2018 independence referendum. The characters are from immigrant backgrounds and struggle to survive in the big city.

Todos os camaleões mudam para a mesma cor de seu ambiente. Todos? Não, Simón nunca acerta. E a verdade é que ele não está se saindo bem.

Miqui Otero has reached new heights with one of the most moving and authentic novels of recent years. A novel full of places and people to keep coming back to. This book is an entire life. The life of Simón.
