Por Alberto Ruy Sánchez, autor de La mano del fuego y reconocido como Oficial de la Orden de las Artes y de las Letras por el gobierno de Francia.

"En este libro bello y perturbador un hombre explora lentamente el universo lleno de misterio y poesía de una mujer". -Raphaëlle Rérolle, Le Monde.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An exploration of desire through the story of Fatma, a desired woman, and the walled city of Mogador.
By Alberto Ruy Sánchez, author of The Hand of Fire and recognized as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government.
The story of Fatma, a woman who desires and is desired, serves to trace both an adventure and an anatomy of that powerful dimension of life we call desire—an attempt to find the precise words to catch it in flight and name it. The walled city of Mogador is the exceptional setting in which this desire grows, but it is also the metaphor of a desired woman: woman-city, woman-labyrinth.
What the critics have said:
“The Names of the Air is a surprise. Not the invention of a language but a language that invents unusual atmospheres… Furthermore, Ruy Sánchez has revealed himself as one of our best essayists. His writing is taut and agile. His intelligence is sharp without being cruel, his spirit compassionate without condescension or complicity.” —Octavio Paz.
“In this beautiful and unsettling book, a man slowly explores the universe of mystery and poetry of a woman.” —Raphaëlle Rérolle, Le Monde.
