The Art of Flight

Начало книги

“Pitol is not just our best living storyteller, he is also the strongest renovator of our literature.”

—ÁLVARO ENRIGUE, author of Sudden Death

“One of Mexico’s most culturally complex and composite writers. He is certainly the strangest, most unfathomable and eccentric… [His] voice…reverberates beyond the margins of his books.”

—VALERIA LUISELLI, author of Faces in the Crowd

“[The Art of Flight] is the most celebrated of Pitol’s novels… It travels through readings — from Antonio Tabucchi to [William] Faulkner and Thomas Mann — through cities, films, notebooks, and recordings, melancholy memories, hypnosis, and dreams.”

—Letras Libres

“The bountiful work of [Sergio Pitol] is one of the most original in the Spanish language.”

—El País

“[The Art of Flight] combines cultural density with autobiographical vigor…a landscape that is classic, desolate, ironic, parodic, and very lively.”

—CARLOS MONSIVÁIS
