«Los nombres del aire» is the novel by Alberto Ruy Sánchez, published by Alfaguara in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
In this novel, the author explores desire and feminine sensibility through poetic, enveloping prose, set in the imaginary city of Mogador, where bodies transform and the Arab-Andalusian heritage of Hispanic culture pulses.
Part of the experimental fiction cycle «Quinteto de Mogador», centred on desire, alongside «En los labios del agua» and «Los jardines secretos de Mogador».
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish-language fiction interested in literary eroticism and poetic prose.
