«Los infinitos» is the novel by John Banville published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
The Godley family gathers at their estate in Arden, near an ancient sacred site, while the patriarch, a renowned mathematician, lies dying. The arrival of ambiguous characters, such as Benny Grace, perhaps the god Pan, blurs the boundary between the human and the divine. The novel interweaves the everyday lives of mortals with the painful immortality of the gods, who long to experience the human condition; Adam Godley's final equations open the «cerrado aposento del tiempo» and allow that coexistence.
It is volume 763 of the Panorama de narrativas collection. Translation by Benito Gómez Ibáñez. Original work in English, published as The Infinities.
Recommended for those seeking contemporary literary fiction that combines mythology, philosophical reflection, and elegant style, with echoes of classical theatre.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
