Bio
Praise for this book
“Reading Antagonía requires great intellectual commitment. But the rewards are immense: this is an endlessly stimulating gothic cathedral of a novel, a world to wander in – surprised, affected, diverted and perplexed– for weeks on end.”
“Cátedra publishes a monumental critical edition of a literary monument.”
