A Vintage Books Original. Javier MariÌas is a tireless examiner of the world around us: essayist, novelist, translator, voracious reader, enthusiastic debunker of pretension, and vigorous polymath. He is able to discover what many of us fail to notice or have never put into words, and he keeps looking long after most of us have turned away. This new collection of essays--by turns literary, philosophical, and autobiographical--journeys from the crumbling canals of Venice to the wide horizons of the Wild West, and MariÌas captures each new vista with razor-sharp acuity and wit. He explores, with characteristic relish, subjects ranging from soccer to classic cinema, from comic books and toy soldiers to mortality and memory, from "The Most Conceited of Cities" to "Why Almost No One Can Be Trusted," making each brilliantly and inimitably his own. Trenchant and wry, subversive and penetrating, Between Eternities is a collection of dazzling intellectual curiosity, offering a window into the expansive mind of the man so often said to be Spain's greatest living writer"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a MariÌas, Javier $v Translations into English. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Costa, Margaret Jull, $e translator. 700 1 $a Grohmann, Alexis, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190313010033.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=025A6C24B0D211E8923D894D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
