Synopsis
The second volume in Rios's projected five-novel cycle called "Larva." Filled with allusions to Pound's life and works and written in a style similar to "Finnegan's Wake," Rios's word-mad novel is "written" by the poet Milalias and narrated by X. Reis, who (as Herr Narrator) adds commentary on facing pages.
Industry Reviews
"The reader finishes the novel feeling both charmed and slightly exasperated, and very much in awe of the skills of its translator, Richard Alan Francis..."
New York Times Book Review - Dwight Garner (02/16/1997)
"[A] mad postmodernist gloss on the life and work of Pound."
Lingis
"The prose of Julián Ríos demonstrates, through its faultless rigor and prodigious capacity for linguistic invention, that the routes of Sterne and Joyce, Rabelais and Céline, Cabrera and Sarduy are in fact perfectly usable."
