Description

The Fictional World of Javier Marias offers a fresh perspective on the narrative universe of one of Spain's most distinguished contemporary authors. In order to establish the origin and meaning of uncertainty in his fiction, this book presents interpretations of a range of issues inherent to Mari as's canon, in particular those related to the nature of language. With the relationship between language and uncertainty at its heart, this study considers the use of foreign languages, translation, and the effect of silence through an analysis of: Todas las almas (1989), Corazo n tan blanco (1992), Man ana en la batalla piensa en mi (1994) and Tu rostro man ana (2002-2007).
