A wicked satire on religion by Spain's greatest living writer

(Paperback)

(Paperback)

Set during the siege of Sarajevo these fictionalized reflections bear witness to the universal cry for freedom.

Karl and Jenny Marx sit on their sofa in Hampstead watching Albanian refugees on TV. Times have changed; paradise has moved to Dallas, Texas, and the Marxes have moved up from Dean Street to Highgate and beyond. This mordant satire is a roller-coaster of bitter invective and witty paradox.

This title offers a revealing autobiographical reflection on exile. Goytisolo comes to the conclusion that every man carries his own exile about with him, wherever he lives. The narrator (Goytisolo) rejects Spain itself and searches instead for poetry "the word without history".
