Description
Adam Gordon is a brilliant, yet highly unreliable young poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his attitude towards art. His imperfect grasp of Spanish is just one aspect of his uncertain identity, as he grapples with the idea that his entire personality may be as fabricated as his poetry. As Gordon navigates the complexities of his own mind, he must confront the blurred lines between reality and artifice. This is a story about the fragility of the self and the power of language to shape our understanding of the world. With its nuanced exploration of identity, language, and the human condition, Leaving the Atocha Station is a thought-provoking and deeply personal novel.
