Blackbird is a novel that tells us the story of a Barcelona teenager whose routine shifts when his father –someone who comes in and out of his life— invites him to take a yearlong trip to Asia. Compelled by the adventurous spirit of the film Into the Wild, but also by a feeling of lack of control typical of his age, the protagonist sets off on a voyage that will take him to Russia, Mongolia, China, Tibet and Nepal. An odyssey that will take him away from the women in his life, who are his main points of reference, and with whom he will have to forge new long-distance relationships.
A novel that reveals travel as a way to understand your own private world.
