In the other, you can't possibly relax: the hard backrest means you have to sit up straight and pay attention, which makes it ideal if you want to read.' Insomniacs, romantics and anyone who's ever written (or failed to write) will fall in love with this compelling masterpiece told by a true original, with all his infuriating faults, charming wit, and intriguing musings. 500 $a Translated from the Spanish. 650 0 $a Authorship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors and publishers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Procrastination $v Fiction. 700 1 $a McDermott, Annie, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032155.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220517010143.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011107.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211130011405.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5212016451AB11EC976C337B48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
