Social novel
El viaje de Iker
Unpublished · Spanish-language original
Iker Parrasco, an ONCE lottery seller with severely impaired vision, makes his way through a city that calls itself smart and inclusive. The distance between recorded accessibility and life on the street shapes every decision.
In Valdemesa, sounds, routes and assistive technology are part of an independence that official reports cannot fully describe. Iker’s journey brings him up against collective decisions and towards the possibility of telling his experience in his own voice.
El viaje de Iker explores accessibility, work and the power to make decisions. Listening to and navigating the city become ways of challenging who can inhabit it and help shape its future.
Editorial focus
For contemporary and socially engaged fiction lists, with an interest in urban life, accessibility and autonomy. Iker’s sensory experience shapes the conflict between the city’s promises and its lived reality.
