“This book is possibly best described as Don Quixote meets Proust. Maqroll is a wanderer, a man who spends his days getting mired in impossible ventures and then extricating himself from them. During these adventures, he remains obsessed with nostalgia and endlessly rakes over the memories of women he has known and other lives he has lead. This is a large, dense book, one that I needed to spend a while with, but I feel like it’s one I’ll be coming back to time and again.”
