A superb new collection of essays from 'the best British author working today' (Joseph Brodsky).

The Observer called it 'a smart, beautifully written book...literary essays with all the clarity and sensual detail of great fiction'. In this new collection, Parks turns his attention to classic authors like Dante, Borges and Leopardi, as well as various contemporary writers including Vikram Seth, W. G. Sebald and Salman Rushdie.
