After a novel and a book of short stories that turned her into a literary phenomenon, Marta Jiménez Serrano (Madrid, 1990) jumps from Sexto Piso to Alfaguara with a book about something personally traumatic. Oxygen It begins with her unconscious on the bathroom floor at home and ends when she opens her eyes. In between, a narrative intertwines the recounting of events, witness accounts, hypotheses, and newspaper and legal clippings, in a constant negotiation with her own privacy, without victimhood or sensationalism. "I didn't go into a coma, but almost," she writes. "This is the story of that near miss."
