The Indoors Lighthouse El faro por dentro. Menchu Gutiérrez Nuevos Tiempos. 183.
THE BOOK
For more than twenty years, Menchu Gutiérrez lived in a lighthouse located on the Spanish northern coast. The Indoors Lighthouse tells the story of the last day of her long and profound experience, and is also “a tribute to the light which makes this lighthouse and all the other lighthouses around the world, one”. Enclosed with this text, Siruela also presents Basenji, which tells the disturbing story of a lighthouse keeper and his African dog, a psychological thriller based on the relation between the light sparkles and the darkness of the lighthouse.
