In this novel, her imagination will take you to the furthest point... where we escape from our world
We will find solace and consolation in it, and our withdrawal into its imagination is not a withdrawal in the true sense of the word
But it is enough to give us some delicious caution so that we do not feel the power of life and the authority of its demands, which is nothing but a simple withdrawal that is not deep enough for us to forget our real misery...
After Martin Luther King was assassinated, Ray was able to escape with a fake passport, and as he moved from one country to another, he kept reading the newspapers, delighted to see his name on the list of the FBI's "ten most dangerous criminals." His journey finally lands him in Lisbon, where he spends ten days waiting for a visa to enter Angola. But Lisbon was also the city that inspired Antonio Muñoz Molina, his most famous novel, and when he now decided to write a novel about Ray, the city became witness to three alternating stories: a murderous man on the run from justice, a writer struggling to find his literary voice, and the writer himself. Thirty years later, he reflects on his life, the life of his hero, and the form of the novel in which he tries to imagine the world with the consciousness of another man.
In As a Shadow Departs, which was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2018, Molina writes a captivating, powerful, and detailed novel, integrating the fictional event with how it is written about.
People wanted to escape the void
They built big cities
They became gears, hammers, bags and hats.
...
City people wanted to return to nature
When their bones were broken
They filled their balconies with flowers and trellises
They raised cats and dogs in homes.
...
They made the cities fortified and walled
It is surrounded by soldiers and guarded by aircraft.
...
When wars break out
Balcony roses will still survive
Battles rage in the mountains of the villages.
...
Peasants, harvesters and truck drivers will die
But the crops
It will still flow onto store shelves.
