Review
"Evoke[s] the exhilarating unpredictability of urban life. . . . Gwyn's plot is humming." --"The Washington Post" "At once an absurdist riddle, a romantic quest, and a love letter to our anti-hero's chosen home, Gwyn's witty and assured first novel is as much about the different ways you can tell a story as it is about the story itself." --"The New Yorker" "A delightful cornucopia of thriller trappings, history lessons, existential ruminations and cheeky asides. . . . Destined to be a cult classic." --"Philadelphia City Paper" "Gwyn leaves many of his mysteries veiled, while providing enough detail to avert readers from a head start. . . . Beautifully precise." --"Newsday" "A wild but entertaining ride through historic Barcelona. . . . The writing is delicious." --"Deseret Morning News" "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT, SIGNED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. Absolutely as new, unread. Is it a thriiler, literary fiction, historical fiction? It is SENSATIONAL STUFF. Title originally published as pbo in May 2005. Was been the Book of the Month at Waterstones, Ottakers & W H Smiths. A y massive mass market p/back publication is due out anytime and is to be featured gain t WH Smiths, Waterstones & Ottakers. Clever, stylish and supremely entertaining, this Barcelona set novel by a Welsh poet offers a feast of sophisticated pleasures and a taste of deeper passions too. Our Welsh-Spanish hero, lonely and adrift in the city's Barrio Gótico, meets a glamorous girl in the Miro museum one day and finds himself drawn into the life of underground street-people and, in the Pyrenees, into a surviving Cathar sect? Gwyn knows all the potential for silly hokum here, but leavens the airport-pulp chase and conspiracy elements with a suave narrative drive and a beguiling immersion in Catalan culture. THE INDEPENDENT. "The best novel published this year" The Bookseller. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 012229
