Reviews
"First published in 1936 and unjustly ignored for the next half century, this novel anticipates the magic realism of modern Latin American fiction. Neatly divided into segments that read like short stories, it juggles a congeries of absurdist types such as pimps, beggars, and priests in what can be taken as a metaphor for Spain today." -- Library Journal, "You keep reading this hypnotic novel the way a sleeping person wants to keep dreaming." -- Publisher's Weekly "Alfau's inventive 'comedy of gestures' is, like any hall ofmirrors fun house, disorienting, maddening, and greatly entertaining. Ithas everything any modern best-seller needs: murder, incest, fallenpriests, Iascivious nuns, a couple of suicides, several mysteries, theliving dead, pimps and whores and poets, locales that shift from Chinato the Philippines to the Caribbean to Europe." -- Washington Post

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
