Carlos Fonseca's third novel, translated by Megan McDowell and published by Picador.
Fonseca describes the book as concerned with endings and beginnings, and with what lies beyond the apparent ends of languages, cultures and life. It explores legacy, memory and the wish to know and be known. The Spanish newspaper El Mundo called it a brilliant inquiry into the archive of memory. Anagrama published it in Spain and Latin America, and Farrar, Straus and Giroux and MacLehose Press brought out the English edition.
