Nada and Laforet is one of those inseparable work-author duos. This writer of novels, short stories, tales, travel diaries and numerous press articles established herself as one of the great authors of Spanish and universal narrative with this work, winner of the Premio Nadal in 1944, at the age of just 22. Her success brought praise from some great literary figures of the time: Azorín, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Ramón J. Sender-. Although her career as a writer continued, Nada marked a turning point. She stepped back from the literary world in the mid-1970s but in 2003 she published a collection of 76 letters resulting from an epistolary relationship with Sender, in which, among other themes, she reflected on the difficulty of being and writing as a woman. Among the numerous posthumous tributes, her portrait was painted at the Ateneu de Madrid (2021), and she was the second woman to be included, after Emilia Pardo Bazán. The Virrei Amat metro stop is very close to the square devoted to her memory.
