Presents Daniel Galera's "Maos de Cavalo" in a felicitous English translation. An unforgettable liminal experience.

An author writing in the footsteps of Roberto Bolano, Jim Harrison, and Denis Johnson" (The New York Times). "A book of visceral and tender beauty whose echoes persist long after the final page" (David Mitchell). An absolute "must-have" title for Daniel Galera collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in subsequent printing, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANIEL GALERA TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1594205485.
