Cuatro relatos sobre el amor y sus posibilidades en una colección que se alzó con el II Premio Internacional de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero.
Los cuatro relatos reunidos en El final del amor gravitan en torno al amor y sus posibilidades. En «Nos rodeaban palmeras», una pareja de turistas experimenta una lejanía mutua que parece irreparable en el transcurso de una excursión a una isla africana; en «Cautivos», un escritor asiste como testigo al desenlace de una relación que la ausencia de deseo hacía extrañamente indisoluble; en «Joanna», un suceso azaroso devuelve a su protagonista, junto con la noticia de su imposible perpetuación, el recuerdo de un amor adolescente nunca clausurado; en «Última gota fría», un chico que fantasea con que sus padres separados vuelvan a unirse intuye repentinamente que tal vez no sea lo mejor para ellos.
En El final del amor, publicado por primera vez en 2011 y merecedor del II Premio Internacional de Narrativa Breve Ribera del Duero, Marcos Giralt Torrente nos trae cuatro historias cargadas de emoción, intensidad y profundidad, en las que todos los elementos se alían para despertar en el lector una acuciante necesidad de llegar hasta el final.
Marcos Giralt Torrente (Madrid, 1968) es autor de una decena de novelas y colecciones de relatos que le han procurado un sólido prestigio como narrador. Debutó en 1995 con los cuentos de Entiéndame, tras los que vinieron, entre otros libros, las novelas París (Premio Herralde de Novela 1999): «Casi poesía, una ópera prima de rara belleza» (Rita Sala, Il Messaggero) y Los seres felices (2002): «Una novela redonda» (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Babelia). En 2010 publicó la novela autobiográfica Tiempo de vida (Premio Nacional de Narrativa y Premio Strega Europeo): «Soberbio» (Javier Cercas), «Un texto sanador» (Rosa Montero), «Uno de los testimonios autobiográficos más hermosos sobre la relación paternofilial» (Fernando Aramburu), «Un libro perfecto e irrepetible» (Rodrigo Fresán). Siguieron los libros de cuentos El final del amor (Premio Ribera del Duero de Narrativa Breve 2011): «Una colección estelar de historias acerca de los misterios y los altibajos del amor» (Kirkus Reviews) y Mudar de piel (2018): «Un libro que enseña a vivir» (Elena Poniatowska). Por último, y antes de Los ilusionistas (Premio Francisco Umbral al Libro del Año), la miscelánea de ensayos, crónicas y textos autobiográficos Algún día seré recuerdo (2023): «Un libro excepcional» (Carlos Pardo, Babelia), «Un libro de fascinante lectura» (Jesús Ferrer, La Razón), «Un libro repleto de tesoros» (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo). Traducido a diversas lenguas, ha sido escritor residente en instituciones europeas como la Santa Maddalena Foundation, el Berlin Artists-in-Residence Programme, la Fondation Jan Michalski, la Academia de España en Roma, la Universidad de Aberdeen o la Residència Literària Finestres.
