Jonathan Gallardo

By M.G. Sanchez

When Jonathan Gallardo was first published in 2015, it was barely mentioned in the Gibraltarian press and hardly any copies of the novel were sold. Despite those unpromising beginnings, readers have gradually come to appreciate it as a vivid portrait of Gibraltar in the eighties and nineties and as an interesting work of postcolonial fiction in its own right. In 2019, the British scholar and two-time Booker Prize judge Alastair Niven chose it as his personal highlight for the year 2015 in an article for Wasafiri magazine entitled 'Celebrating an Abundance, 1984-2019: Thirty-five Literary Highlights from Aotearoa to Zimbabwe.' International scholars such as Esterino Adami, Ina Habermann, Ilaria Barbuto and Tijana Parezanovic have also added to its critical afterlife with a succession of reviews and articles. This revised edition of the novel features a new cover design and a specially written foreword by the Gibraltarian poet Giordano Durante.
