When the writer Daniel Vázquez Sallés (Barcelona, 1966) was 37 years old, his father, Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, died at a Bangkok airport. At 55, his 10-year-old son, Marc, died. He now tries to honor the memory of both with the life he leads – far from past addictions – and with the books he writes: the latest, Los felices ochenta (Folch i Folch), in which he paints a caustic, uncomfortable, and funny portrait of a decade marked by great leaders (Pujol, Felipe, John Paul II, Reagan, Thatcher, Samaranch, or Núñez), but also by AIDS and drugs.
