Paperback. Condition: Good. Along the Mediterranean coastline in Spain, real-estate developers scramble to transform the once pastoral landscape into tourist resorts and beachfront properties, with their lavish bars, pools, and nightclubs. The booming post-Franco years have left everything up for grabs. Crematorium opens with Mat as's death, who had rejected all of these changes, which sets off a chain reaction, uncovering a family's past that had been buried for years, and leading those closest to him to question the paths they've chosen. In a rich mosaic narrative, filled with a hypnotic chorus of voices, Crematorium explores the cocaine glimmer and champagne fizz of luxurious parties and their accompanying underworlds of political corruption, prostitution, financial speculation, and the melancholy ouroboros of capitalist greed that led to the financial crash, while capturing something essential about our values, our choices, and our all too human mistakes. Like William Faulkner or Francis Bacon, Chirbes stares, clear-eyed, into the abyss, and portrays us as who we really are.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. On the Edge opens with the discovery of a rotting corpse in the marshes on the outskirts of Olba, Spain a town wracked by despair after the burst of the economic bubble, and a microcosm of a world of defeat, debt and corruption. Stuck in this town is Esteban his small factory bankrupt, his investments stolen by a`friend, and his unloved father, a mute invalid, entirely his personal burden. Much of the novel unfolds in Estebans raw and tormented monologues. But other voices resound from the wreckage and their words, sharp as knives, crowd their terse, hypnotic monologues of ruin, prostitution and loss. Chirbes alternates this choir of voices with a majestic third-person narration, injecting a profound and moving lyricism and offering the hope that a new vitality can emerge from the putrid swamps. On the Edge, even as it excoriates, pulsates with robust life, and its rhythmic, torrential style marks the novel as an indelible masterpiece. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
