About this product
Product Information
Set in Barcelona in the years leading up to the financial crash of 2008, these poignant interlinked stories follow ordinary people whose lives will be changed forever. Exploring addiction, celebrity, racism, immigration, pornography, and self-delusion, Barcelona Dreaming has the feeling of a modern fable, underpinned by a longing for the inaccessible and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost.

Reviews
"The sense of place is brilliantly evoked...and the stories build, cleverly linked together, into a beguiling love letter to the great city." -- Condé Nast Traveller "[A] shimmering triptych...With seamless prose, Thomson affords an intimate glimpse into the three protagonists' hearts and minds...Descriptive flourishes, meanwhile, produce a consistent stream of wonderfully odd details...Thomson gracefully ties together themes of longing, love, and the inequities caused by age and race. The result is memorable and moving." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[Thomson] writes with a cleareyed compassion and never forces moments; everything in the novel feels organic. [He] inhabits the voices of his characters perfectly...[a] trip to Barcelona well worth taking...powerful." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Linked by incisive narrators and chance encounters, Rupert Thomson's alluring novel Barcelona Dreaming braids three stories into a lush exploration of love and unmet longings." -- Foreword Reviews "I don't know how Rupert Thomson does it. Each novel he writes is a new vision of a new world; he's the least predictable, the most surprising of writers. Barcelona Dreaming is set in that city, and it seems as if Thomson knows every corner of it, and every kind of human being who might live there. My astonishment is only surpassed by my admiration." --Philip Pullman, author of the bestselling His Dark Materials trilogy "The three stories in Barcelona Dreaming are connected by ingeniously created threads, but also by a tone that is ironic, observant, alert to the complexity of the characters' motives and desires. The book is set in the modern city of Barcelona, its atmosphere invoked with intimate knowledge and a matchless sense of place." --Colm Tóibín, New York Times bestselling author of Brooklyn and The Master "Elegant and electrifying. Thomson's prose is sparse, yet so highly charged that I couldn't stop reading. I love all his novels--but this one is my new favorite." --Andrea Wulf, author of The Invention of Nature Praise for Never Anyone But You : "There's so much sheer moxie, prismatic identity, pleasure and danger in these lives...the scenes are tense, particular and embodied...wonderfully peculiar." -- New York Times Book Review "Sleek, lush...an extraordinary and rollicking tale." -- Harper' s "Taut and absorbing...As with all of Thomson's elegant and troubling novels, Never Anyone But You exerts a menacing--but never histrionic--power...this quietly passionate coupling of Eros and history lingers on to haunt the darkest recesses of the reader's mind." -- The Guardian, Praise for Never Anyone But You : "There's so much sheer moxie, prismatic identity, pleasure and danger in these lives...the scenes are tense, particular and embodied...wonderfully peculiar." -- New York Times Book Review "Sleek, lush...an extraordinary and rollicking tale." -- Harper' s "Taut and absorbing...As with all of Thomson's elegant and troubling novels, Never Anyone But You exerts a menacing--but never histrionic--power...this quietly passionate coupling of Eros and history lingers on to haunt the darkest recesses of the reader's mind." -- The Guardian

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!
