Zusatztext The best and weirdest kind of literary game . . . This artful alternate history of modern literature! stitched together from loose ends! half-told stories and deft episodes of pastiche! is a strangely profound place to get lost.

His first full-length novel, The Savage Detectives , won the Herralde Prize and the Rómulo Gallegos Prize, and Natasha Wimmer’s translation of The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by the Washington Post and the New York Times .
