Description
In Ben Lerner's debut novel, a young American poet named Adam Gordon finds himself adrift in Madrid on a prestigious fellowship. Ostensibly there to research the Spanish Civil War, Adam becomes increasingly consumed by his own anxieties and the complex relationship between art, life, and authenticity. As the city grapples with the aftermath of the 2004 terrorist bombings, Adam's internal struggles mirror the external chaos, blurring the lines between his own experiences and the narratives he attempts to create.
