Description
A kaleidoscopic exploration of creativity and identity, Rodrigo Fresán's novel delves into the complexities of human experience. Through biting humor and propulsive storytelling, Fresán weaves together themes of childhood, loss, memory, aging, and death, drawing inspiration from modern classics and postmodern masters. The result is a powerful defense of great literature, a celebration of reading and writing, and an inventive exploration of the stories we tell ourselves to give shape to our world. Fresán's work is characterized by its polymathic scope, encompassing everything from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Pink Floyd and 2001: A Space Odyssey. With this novel, he delivers a thought-provoking examination of the links between great art and the lives of those who create it.
