Reviews
Praise for Ordesa : "Manuel Vilas writes both novels and poetry, and this book falls somewhere in between. It's a meditation on yearning, solitude, and self; a soul storm, a mirage of phantom figures--resurrected images of dead ancestors, childhood memories, the changing face of Spain itself. And all of these visions come in waves to Manuel after his parents' deaths, as he struggles to make sense of his own midlife sorrow and emptiness. It's a book of deep reckoning--of the meaningful and mundane--but written with an airy, even whimsical touch. . . . Despite the melancholy at its heart, this is ultimately a book of light." -- The New York Times Book Review "Poignant and sensitive portrait of a wounded man . . . A journey both nostalgic and melancholic." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Vilas is a Spanish poet, novelist, and essayist born in 1962 who has enjoyed critical and commercial success in his homeland with this book. . . . Vilas also conveys--and Rosenberg smoothly translates--many moments of pain and happiness any reader might recognize as the narrator plunges into the maelstrom of closely examined memory. A dark and challenging but emotionally rich work." -- Kirkus Reviews "Vibrant English-language debut . . . Despite lacking a central arc, the novel hums with magnetic and lively scenes. This is an indelible portrait of a man facing the costs of a life dedicated to remembrance." -- Publishers Weekly " Ordesa is a poet's novel, or maybe a novelist's prose poem. It's both things at once, and also the saddest and most candid autobiography I've read in recent times. I've been through this book twice and I still don't know how Vilas does it. I know, however, that this book is a gift, and maybe that's enough." -- Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Shape of the Ruins "[ Ordesa ] is the album, the archive, the memory without lies or consolation. . . . What's left in the end is the clean emotion of truth and the distress of everything lost." -- Antonio Muñoz Molina, author of Like a Fading Shadow "A book full of compassion towards the underdogs of history, the everyday men. An extraordinary book." -- El País (Spain), " Ordesa is a poet's novel, or maybe a novelist's prose poem. It's both things at once, and also the saddest and most candid autobiography I've read in recent times. I've been through this book twice and I still don't know how Vilas does it. I know, however, that this book is a gift, and maybe that's enough." - Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Shape of the Ruins "[ Ordesa ] is the album, the archive, the memory without lies or consolation...What's left in the end is the clean emotion of truth and the distress of everything lost." - Antonio Muñoz Molina, author of Like a Fading Shadow "A book full of compassion towards the underdogs of history, the everyday men. An extraordinary book." - El País (Spain) "Vibrant...[ Ordesa ] hums with magnetic and lively scenes. This is an indelible portrait of a man facing the costs of a life dedicated to remembrance." - Publishers Weekly "The narrator takes readers on a journey both nostalgic and melancholic, moving from his ancestors to the present as he alternates between events and introspective musings." - Library Journal , Starred Review
Synopsis
"A meditation on yearning, solitude, and self; a soul storm, a mirage of phantom figures . . . a book of deep reckoning." -- The New York Times Book Review The #1 international bestselling phenomenon--a profound and riveting story of love, loss, and memory. A man at a crossroads in the middle of his life considers the place where he's from, and where his parents have recently died. In the face of enormous personal tumult, he sits down to write. What follows is an audacious chronicle of his childhood and an unsparing account of his life's trials, failures, and triumphs that becomes a moving look at what family gives and takes away. With the intimacy of a diarist, he reckons with the ghosts of his parents and the current specters of his divorce, his children, his career, and his addictions. In unswervingly honest prose, Vilas explores his identity after great loss--what is a person without a marriage or without parents? What is a person when faced with memories alone? Already an acclaimed poet and novelist in Spain, Vilas takes his work to a whole new level with this autobiographical novel; critics have called it "a work of art able to cauterize pain." Elegiac and searching, Ordesa is a meditation on loss and a powerful exploration of a person who is both extraordinary and utterly ordinary--at once singular and representing us all--who transforms a time of crisis into something beautiful and redemptive.
