Paperback. Translator(s): Rabassa, Gregory. Num Pages: 331 pages. BIC Classification: AP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 142 x 18. Weight in Grams: 454.
A modern epic on a grand scale, Avalovara is a rich and lyrical novel centered around Abel's courtship of three women. He pursues the sophisticated and inaccessible Roos across Europe; falls in love with Cecilia, a carnal, compassionate hermaphrodite; and achieves a tender, erotic alliance with a woman known only by an ideogram. Avalovara is an extraordinary novel, both in its depiction of modern life and in its rigorous, puzzlelike structure visually represented by a spiral and a five-word palindrome.
