BESTSELLING LITERARY PHENOMENON
NOW IN ITS 10th PRINT RUN

“This book is magnificent, brave and heartbreaking.”
Javier Cercas

"Powerful, sincere, gritty at times, about the loss of parents, about the pain of words that weren't said and about the need to love and be loved. Excellently written. I’m not surprised at all by its success."                                                                                            Fernando Aramburu

“This is the album, the archive, the memory without lies or consolation of a life, a time, a family, a social class condemned to so much effort for very little obtained. A lot of precision is needed to tell these things, the acid, the sharpened knife, the exact needle to burst the balloon of vanity. What’s left in the end is the clean emotion of truth and the distress of everything lost.”    
Antonio Muñoz Molina

“When I read Vilas, I have the feeling that he is the best Spanish writer who has existed and will ever exist. And Ordesa is his masterpiece. We are all inside it. Ordesa is a painful, colossal monument at the heart of a child.”                                                                         
Laura Fernández

"A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac’s wit and ambition are evident on every page. By comparison, most other contemporary fiction seems a little dull and simple-minded."
Hari Kunzru

"An exuberant blend of political satire and sexual picaresque. This book rewards total immersion: Come for the inevitable Borges allusions, stay for the wild ride."  
The New York Times Book Review 
 
“Oloixarac's brilliant, dextrous, debut novel, is a twisty tale of academia, lust, and culture... Perhaps best of all is Oloixarac's prose: discursive, surprising and off-kilter—like the characters themselves, it reveals a ceaseless appetite for understanding and belonging."  
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
