Media Reviews
One of the great books about Spain -- Tristan Garel-Jones * Observer *
His prose is as sturdy as a good Rioja, and equally delicious -- Sara Wheeler
With this immensely attractive book, Cees Nooteboom joins a select band of writer... who have the rare ability to evoke the soul of a nation. No one with a feeling for Spain should fail to read this book * Daily Telegraph *
Invites the reader to share the excitement, experiences, even food, that the author has encountered while weaving his way through [Spain] slowly and deliciously... Mr. Nooteboom lingers in out-of-the-way places most tourists miss * New York Times Book Review *
Nooteboom plunges fervently into the fabric of Spain itself * San Francisco Chronicle *
The erudition, ambition and resonance are reminiscent of Claudio Magris' magisterial Danube. But the voice - and, as he has rendered it, the territory - is Nooteboom's own * Independent on Sunday *
