La Incógnita

In this lively epistolary portrait, a Madrid‑based writer sends a series of candid letters to his imprisoned friend, “Equis.” Through his honest, witty voice he sketches the bustling social scene of the capital—courtly intrigue, neighborhood disputes, and the everyday gossip that animates the city’s streets. The correspondence is a window into a world where politics, property battles, and personal dramas intersect, all rendered with a tone that feels both intimate and observational.

The narrator, newly freed and enjoying the comforts of his deputy’s post, uses the letters to keep his friend company, describing the colorful personalities he encounters. He begins with an introduction to the flamboyant Don Carlos María de Cisneros, a figure whose eccentric habits, striking home décor, and unconventional ideas promise plenty of intrigue. As the letters unfold, listeners will be drawn into the vivid tapestry of early‑20th‑century Madrid, feeling the pulse of its society through the writer’s unmistakable perspective.
