THE STREET OF THE THREE BEDS - ROSER CAMINALS K...

When Roser Caminals was ten years old her family moved to a neighborhood of grid-patterned
streets lined with trees and broad sidewalks  but it is the old city  with its potpourri of
blind lottery peddlers  sailors from all over the world walking up from the harbor  fishmongers
tourists  door-to-door salesmen  and a variety shady characters thrown into the mix that finds
its way into her fiction. The rich texture of the street life Roser Caminals witnessed during
her formative years remains a powerful allure to the mature writer. Inspired by a popular urban
legend about the white slave trade and the disappearance of a young woman in a lingerie store 
the novel explores the connections between Barcelona's criminal underground and its echelons of
power. Named after a real street in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter  The Street of the Three Beds
reveals the colorful and corrupt hidden life of the city. 'Roser Caminals is a wonderful
novelist. Her Catalan street's memories remind me of Isaac Bashevis Singer's about his Polish
Krochmalna Street or Elias Canetti's in his native Bulgaria.' Alain Saint-Saëns  novelist and
literary critic.
