"Loriga is set to join that select band of writers - like Michael Houellebecq and Hruki Murakami - who are busy retooling fiction for the 21st century" Big Issue
A salesman for "The Comany" searches hazily for his wife, grasping at memories just out of reach. When they ask about her, he tells them she's dead. People say she may be in Tokyo.
While evoking the bewildering visual universe of Blade Runner, Loriga, one of Spain's most successful authors, has produced a dizzying picaresque novel of drug-fuelled nights and wild sexual encounters taht deals with themes as diverse as loss, chemical dependency and globalisation.
"Provides a blend of Kerouac's wild wandering and Burroughs' use of narcotics as a metaphor for just about every level of human existence" Guardian
