<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Original Spanish titles published separately.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, Agustin Fernandez Mallo's Nocilla Trilogy--<i>Nocilla Dream</i>, <i>Nocilla Lab</i>, and <i>Nocilla Experience</i>--presents multiple narratives of people and places that reflect America and the world in the digital age of the twenty-first century.</b> <p/>In the middle of the Nevada desert stands a solitary poplar tree covered in hundreds of pairs of shoes. Farther along Route 50, a lonely prostitute falls in love with a collector of found photographs. In Las Vegas, an Argentine man builds a peculiar monument to Jorge Luis Borges. On the run from the authorities, Kenny takes up permanent residence in the legal non-place of Singapore International Airport, while the novelists Enrique Vila-Matas and Agustín Fernández Mallo encounter each other on an oil rig. <p/>These are just a few of the narrative strands that make up Fernández Mallo's <i>Nocilla Trilogy</i>--<i>Nocilla Dream</i>, <i>Nocilla Experience</i>, and <i>Nocilla Lab</i>. Greeted as a landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, the entire trilogy has not been available in English until now. <p/>"By juxtaposing fiction with non-fiction . . . the author has created a hybrid genre that mirrors our networked lives, allowing us to inhabit its interstitial spaces. A physician as well as an artist, Fernández Mallo can spot a mermaid's tail in a neutron monitor; estrange theorems into pure poetry." --Andrew Gallix, <i>The</i> <i>Independent</i> <p/>"An encyclopedia, a survey, a deranged anthropology: <i>Nocilla Dream</i> is just the coldhearted poetics that might see America for what it really is. There is something deeply strange and finally unknowable about this book, in the very best way." --Ben Marcus, author of <i>The Flame Alphabet</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Agustín Fernández Mallo</b> was born in La Coruña, Spain in 1967.
