Humor Literary Fiction

Magdalena Tulli

Authors: Magdalena Tulli
Print type: BOOK

Description:

"A feckless, comical narrator struggles against all odds to tell a story he neither controls nor understands; his characters multiply, go astray, and start rival stories of their own. The increasingly desperate narrator chases them through the streets, the underground, and across rooftops. This work tells of the sadness of the world and of the inadequate means that language and storytelling offer for describing and understanding it."--BOOK JACKET.
