ALL THE HATE I HELD INSIDE

In the early sixties, after the premiere of West Side Story, a generation of angry young men from the outskirts of Madrid, carrying stilettos in their boots, took to the streets and imitated the gangs in the film. They danced in the cinema aisles, assaulted passersby, stole cars, set motorcycles on fire, fled from the police, and engaged in full-blown battles with other gangs.

All the hatred he harbored is not merely the story of an excessive character like Dum Dum Pacheco, but of a city like Madrid, where the creation of the outskirts and Franco's strategy to transform workers into property owners and control this ever-suspicious suburb are recounted. This is the untold story of brutalist Spain, from the post-war period and the Franco regime to the arrival of democracy, a masterful work of narrative non-fiction that reads like a sprawling novel, where we accompany the author on this descent into hell.
