El estrangulador (English, The Strangler) is a 1994 novel by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. The book was published on Oct 31, 1994 through Grijalbo Mondadori and focuses around a psychiatric patient that gives a potentially unreliable narration of his life.[1] The book has received some praise for its content and won the Premio de la Crítica Española award in 1995.[2][3]

Synopsis

[edit]

The book follows an unnamed narrator that is currently living in a psychiatric hospital. Through the book the narrator talks about the people he has killed and claims to be responsible for a series of murders in Boston. Vázquez Montalbán wrote the book in such a manner that the reader is left to decide whether or not the narrator has committed as many or any of the murders he claims to have performed.[4]
