The Attic of Sleeping Muses

Original Title: El desván de las musas dormidas

The main characters in this evocative story, memory and imagination, keep weaving moments recalled from past times to create a profoundly intimate reality from the remnants that lie waiting in a tucked-away attic. The need to understand who we are by turning to those who came before us is the theme running through this absorbing novel which, somewhere between memoirs and an elegy, is offered like a song. Once again, the literature of Fulgencio Argüelles defies the silence and oblivion that threaten to turn the world into a desert.
