Amara Lakhous constructs a choral narrative that, through everyday situations, reveals the contradictions of a society that claims to be multicultural but often rejects those who are different. The work is especially relevant in the current context, where debates on migration and identity are more present than ever. Its agile tone and its ability to find humor in complex situations make it a recommended read both for those seeking to reflect and for those who simply wish to enjoy a good story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HOJA DE LATA EDITORIAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406722687323,"sku":"9788416537044","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841653704.jpg?v=1781839004","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788416537044","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
