Description

In this evocative novel, a Spanish academic recounts his two years as a visiting lecturer in Oxford, a period marked by quiet observation and unexpected entanglements. As he navigates the subtle dynamics of university life and forms tentative relationships with his colleagues, he finds himself drawn into an affair with a married English woman. Through Marías's signature introspective prose, the narrative unfolds as a series of reflections on memory, language, and the complex, often unspoken, currents that shape human connection.
