Yambo, a Milanese antiquarian bookseller, loses his autobiographical memory after an accident: he remembers quotes and poems, but not his own life. Settled in his childhood home, among books, magazines, records and photographs, he tries to reconstruct his past. A reflection on memory, identity and popular culture.
Catalan translation by Carme Arenas Noguera; part of the L'Àncora collection from Destino. Subtitled «Una novel·la il·lustrada».
For readers of Umberto Eco or of novels that explore memory, books and popular culture.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
