A few carefully chosen brushstrokes are enough for the Santander-born author to capture a succession of minimalist plots that compel us to engage in a participatory reading. In reality, more than minimalism, the dominant feature of Labyrinths is the fragment, not least because most of the narratives are condensed into a key moment where the protagonist reviews a specific aspect of their life, most often using a monologue. The protagonists of Labyrinths are almost always ordinary people: a funeral home employee, a soldier, a housekeeper, a fishing family, a heartbroken widower, a religious woman plagued by guilt, or a lover yearning to declare his love. Anonymous beings, often vitally indecisive, who lose themselves in everyday situations. People who are no one and yet are everyone. In them, one can see the epic of the common, so dear to the poetics of Steinbeck, whom Monzón has translated, and like so many of the American Nobel Prize winner's characters, the protagonists of Labyrinths suffer reality more than they live it.
