It is no coincidence that Enrique Vila-Matas has become a cult author not only in Spain, but also abroad, and has been awarded many prestigious national and foreign literary awards, including the Medici Prize, one of the most authoritative in Europe. The “strange” heroes of Vila-Matas’s “strange” stories live among us with their own special lives, striking with their bold and original view of this world. “Such a Strange Life” is a novel about a man who decided to rebel against the world of familiar and comfortable conventions. About a man who wants to be himself, write what is written, and without looking back love an eccentric beauty - the woman of his dreams. And the real “rebels” Salvador Dali and Graham Greene, organically introduced by the author into the fabric of the narrative, help the hero find himself.
