One of the great books about Spain

His prose is as sturdy as a good Rioja, and equally delicious

With this immensely attractive book, Cees Nooteboom joins a select band of writer... who have the rare ability to evoke the soul of a nation. No one with a feeling for Spain should fail to read this book

Invites the reader to share the excitement, experiences, even food, that the author has encountered while weaving his way through [Spain] slowly and deliciously... Mr. Nooteboom lingers in out-of-the-way places most tourists miss

Nooteboom plunges fervently into the fabric of Spain itself

The erudition, ambition and resonance are reminiscent of Claudio Magris' magisterial Danube. But the voice - and, as he has rendered it, the territory - is Nooteboom's own
