Beschreibung

<p><b>Shortlisted for the inaugural Warwick Prize for Writing</b></p><br><p><b>A dazzlingly original exploration of literature's limits-and its necessity--<i>Montano's Malady</i> is Enrique Vila-Matas at his most mischievous, self-referential, and intellectually provocative.</b></p><br><p>Both the narrator of <i>Montano's Malady</i>, Joséeacute;, and his son, Montano, suffer from literary illnesses: Montano has writer's block and José can only experience the world as literature. The search for a "cure" leads José around a world that is constantly mediated by his thoughts about writers and literature--from Cervantes to Sternea and Kafka to Sebald, among countless other literary touchstones--as he blends fiction and essay, memoir and criticism, with dizzying brilliance.</p><br><p>A sequel of sorts to <i>Bartleby &amp; Co.</i>, <i>Montano's Malady</i> is both a love letter to literature and a lament for its diminished place in the modern world.</p>
