Nocilla Trilogy

Nocilla Trilogy

by Agustín Fernández Mallo
5/5

A landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, Agustin Fernandez Mallo's Nocilla Trilogy - made up of the novels Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Experience and Nocilla Lab - is a project for our time.

Reading takes the form of literary channel surfing: we flick through an audacious network of chopped-up stories, recycled texts and mixed-media collages, and try to find the signal in the noise, reflecting the dizzying search for meaning that characterizes life in our digital age.

The globe-spanning narratives that explode across the trilogy take us from a lone poplar tree in the Nevada desert to a barnacle-covered cliff in Galicia, Spain, through scientific treatises and film-editing manuals, personal journals and comic strips.

The books are full of references to indie cinema, theoretical physics, conceptual art, practical architecture, the history of computers and the decadence of the novel.

And yet, for all the freewheeling, fragmentary swagger, a startling order emerges and takes hold.

Peerless in its daring, Nocilla Trilogy charts a hidden and exhilarating cartography of contemporary experience.
