"Part surreal comedy, part dark parable, Millás's wild work brings readers face to face with the mundane facets of middle-class suburban life. . . . A page-turner of the strangest order, Millás's debut stuns and entrances. It's impossible to put down." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Written by one of Spain's most original and important authors and set in contemporary Madrid . . .

"The narrative of Juan José Millás, our literary Buster Keaton, is inimitable and unique." --La Vanguardia
