Trade Review
"The literary tradition of Spain feels most ingenious when playfully blurring genres, and the Catalan novelist Enrique Vila-Matas may well be the current master of that." -- Yasmine El Rashidi - Artforum
"Through its mesmerizing structure, it asks bold questions about the nature of storytelling, and contrasts the ways in which the novelist and the fine artist construct narratives." -- Tobias Carroll - Signature Reads
"Enrique Vila-Matas is playful and funny and among the best Spanish novelists." -- Colm Toibin
