Here, we find a small group of characters who are part of an underground sect called Urkreis, one of whose aims is to discover the identity of the sect’s founder, known only as “the Imagined.” The identities of narrator, author, and characters blur into one another as the narrative moves between the two worlds of the novel and the author writing the novel—an unclassifiable masterpiece containing initiation rites, sacrificial murder, conspiracy, and delirium.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49739967234321,"sku":"NGR9781628974386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50396677669137,"sku":"CIN1628974389G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041437974801,"sku":"NIN9781628974386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52424111915281,"sku":"NLS9781628974386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52842848649489,"sku":"GOR014637198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1628974389.jpg?v=1750763731"},{"product_id":"farabeuf-o-la-cronica-de-un-instante-book-salvador-elizondo-9788437618609","title":"Farabeuf, O, La Cronica de Un Instante","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50406874972433,"sku":"CIN8437618606G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8437618606.jpg?v=1751191420"},{"product_id":"escritura-obsesiva-book-salvador-elizondo-9788492480135","title":"La escritura obsesiva","description":"Esta antología reúne los textos más característicos de la literatura de Salvador Elizondo, bajo la cuidadosa selección del escritor Daniel Sada, con la intención de adentrar al lector por los mundos que crea el sorprendente narrador mexicano considerado por la crítica como \"un escritor para escritores\". A partir de la publicación de su primera novela, Farabeuf, en 1965 —hoy, un clásico obligado— Elizondo recorrió una amplia gama de posibilidades narrativas llevando su escritura experimental, a la vez que obsesiva, a extremos más allá de los cuales parece que no se puede llegar.Con una imaginación desbordada, una cultura muy amplia y refinada además de haber sido un lector voraz, sus narraciones, dotadas de un gran sentido del humor, brevedad y economía de las palabras, nos transportan a aventuras verbales incomparables.  This anthology, carefully selected by Daniel Sada, gathers the most characteristic work of the Mexican writer Salvador Elizondo, introducing the reader into the fascinating world of a novelist considered a \"writers’ writer\" by many critics. Following the publication in 1965 of his first novel Farabeuf —now an indispensable classic— Elizondo explored a wide range of narrative possibilities, developing his experimental and obsessive creation to extremes beyond which it would seem impossible to go. A voracious reader, with wide learning and an exuberant imagination, he has produced novels and stories of humor, concision, and matchless verbal invention.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51065244975377,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065246777617,"sku":"NIN9788492480135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51514974273809,"sku":"NGR9788492480135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8492480130.jpg?v=1751128870"},{"product_id":"farabeuf-o-la-cronica-de-un-instante-novela-farabeuf-or-the-chronicle-of-an-inst-book-salvador-elizondo-9786073937320","title":"Farabeuf O La Crónica de Un Instante (Novela) \/ Farabeuf or the Chronicle of an Instant (a Novel)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 60 años de su primera publicación, Farabeuf, la obra más emblemática de Salvador Elizondo, sigue siendo la novela mexicana experimental e inclasificable por excelencia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUn cirujano hace una misteriosa visita a domicilio, la enfermera que lo espera dibuja un signo ambiguo en la ventana; el hombre fotografía un suplicio chino, la mujer camina junto al mar...
