«El orden alfabético» is the surrealist novel by Juan José Millás, published by Alfaguara in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonist takes refuge in an imaginary world governed by alphabetical order to escape an adult reality marked by loneliness and his father's illness. In that universe, habitual logic is inverted: words and things are ordered by their letters and language loses its rules. When letters begin to disappear, reality becomes even more uncertain, in an ironic fable about perception and meaning.
Originally published in 1998, this work is part of the Alfaguara Literaturas collection and falls within contemporary Spanish narrative.
A suitable choice for readers of contemporary Spanish narrative and for those seeking surrealist and ironic fiction.
Juan José Millás is a Spanish writer and winner of the 1990 Premio Nadal. He was born in Valencia and has spent most of his life in Madrid, where he studied philosophy and literature at the Universidad Complutense.
