PROYECTO NOCILLA
For the first time in a single volume, we present the trilogy that changed the course of Spanish literature. An ambitious project in which Art, with a capital A, takes the floor, in the form of hypnotic pieces of poetic prose and micro-stories with the evocative power of an old Polaroid, and with the collaboration of cartoonist and illustrator Pere Joan. Agustín Fernández Mallo creates a vaguely out-of-focus, poetic and unsettling atmosphere, which gradually connects the characters as the plot advances. It isn't mystery in the classic sense, or suspense or terror, but something more disquieting yet: it is reality itself, which reveals itself to us as an animated object; it is the characters who follow it without managing to understand it fully. Each of them is him or herself and many others at once, struggling through various lives, without sensing that, everything that ever happened is doomed to be repeated.
