"A kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the type who brings a blast of oxygen into the room."—Jonathan Lethem

An getting older author, dissatisfied with the nation of literary tradition, makes an attempt to vanish within the so much cosmically dramatic demeanour: touring to the Hadron Collider, merging with the God particle, and reworking into an omnipresent deity—a meta-writer—capable of rewriting reality.

With biting humor and a propulsive, contagious type, amid the sped up debris of his attribute obsessions—the writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the song of red Floyd and The Kinks, 2001: an area Odyssey, the hyperlinks among nice paintings and the lives of the artists who create it—Fresán takes us on a whirlwind travel of writers and muses, insanity and genius, friendships, damaged households, and exchange realities, exploring subject matters of early life, loss, reminiscence, getting older, and death.

Drawing thought from the scope of recent classics and the structural pyrotechnics of the postmodern masters, the Argentine as soon as often called "a pop Borges" promises a strong security of serious literature, a party of examining and writing, of the invented parts—the tales we inform ourselves to provide form to our world.

Rodrigo Fresán is the writer of 9 books of fiction that jointly compose an expansive, interconnected fictional universe—a advanced procedure of storylines, resonances, and self-reference that decision to brain the works of David Foster Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, and Roberto Bolaño.
