«Negra espalda del tiempo» is the novel by Javier Marías, published by Punto De Lectura in paperback (419 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from his novel «Todas las almas», Javier Marías sees fiction invade his own life and gives way to a «falsa novela» where the imagined and the lived mix. The narrative moves between Mexico, Havana and Oxford, and includes a legendary kingdom in the Antilles, a stray bullet, a mercenary pilot and a family curse, in a territory where the living and the dead coexist.
