Never Any End to Paris

Author(s): Enrique Vila-Matas

Fiction

"A virtuoso balletic pas de deux of memory and imagination... There is something reminiscent in the fictional young Vila-Matas of Woody Allen... Not only does this novel glitter with sharp ideas and observations, it may just be the best book I've ever read about Paris." TLS "Utterly compelling...breathtakingly accomplished... I was left satisfied, yet somehow wishing this captivating raconteur had continued indefinitely" Literary Review "By the end of it I was fully seduced by its self-portrait of the artist as a young writer... This wonderful book only reconfirms the never-ending-ness of Paris" Independent "Vila-Matas's touch is light and whimsical, while his allusions encompass a rogue's gallery of world literature" The Economist "One of Spain's most inventive and enjoyable novelists" Irish Examiner
