Beats me. But suppose that Roberto Bola o had written a sort of disheveled novel about an apocryphal writer called Vladimir Nadal, fellow-traveler of various late-twentieth-century avant-gardes. Then suppose that this same apocryphal writer had taken a deep dive into the real life and writings of the Surrealist Benjamin P ret, and had returned with a double-handful of P ret-centric material, some authentic, some not. Then stop supposing and read El Misterio Nadal, which is all that and more. Whoever \"A.B.,\" supposed translator of this dossier, might be, he has given us, in the mysterious Nadal, a figure worthy to join the company of Ern Malley, John Shade, Araki Yasusada, and other illustrious non-existents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Brian McHale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author of The Cambridge Introduction to Postmodernism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 398\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 21, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796127088928,"sku":"9781947980204","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6a8ebe273a69d954c96ce96c88e6bbfd.webp?v=1780751305","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/el-misterio-nadal-a-lost-and-rescued-book-purportedly-compiled-and-with-introduction-in-2001-by-roberto-bolano-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
