<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Double Room is intellectually thrilling and compulsively readable while straddling both fiction and nonfiction. The book is made up of four parts, each of which is in turn divided into two sections. While these four "double rooms" initially seem independent, as the narratives never cross, they quickly reveal a subtle network of links, echoes, and thematic parallels that bind them together. As it progresses, Magrinyaa's nuance and intelligence only become more apparent" --<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Four pairs of stories--four "double rooms"--sit side by side in the latest work of fiction by one of Spain's most compelling writers. A publisher wonders about the voices that haunt her; a scriptwriter receives an unexpected gift; a dinner party is shaken by a mysterious guest; a father seeks to atone for his son's crimes. Ranging from Madrid to Milwaukee, and from prose fiction to drama to essay, the chapters of this "narrative installation" echo one another, revealing a carefully layered composition of humor and foreboding. <i>Double Room</i> is a subtle meditation on the bonds between parents and children, the burdens of illness and grief, and the places we make our home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Luis Magrinyà is renowned as a highly idiosyncratic observer of Spain's social strata." -Times Literary Supplement<br><br>"A delicate and amazing book." -El Mundo<br><br>"Double room is one of the events of the year." -La Nueva Spain<br>
