Your Face Tomorrow, Volume Two: Dance and Dream

by Javier Marias

Your Face Tomorrow, Volume Two: Dance and Dream Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dance and Dream—the dazzling second volume of Your Face Tomorrow, Javier Marías' unfolding literary spy novel in three parts.

Your Face Tomorrow has been hailed "exquisite" (Publishers Weekly), "gorgeous" (Kirkus), and "outstanding: another work of urgent originality" (London Independent). And now, Dance and Dream takes Javier Marías's daring experiential magnum opus out for a new wild ride. Skillfully constructed around a central mesmerizing scene in a nightclub, a scene of real and perplexing horror, Dance and Dream again features our hero Jacques Deza. But in Volume Two Deza—hired by MI6 as a person of extraordinarily sophisticated powers of perception—discovers the dark side of his new employers. In a disco, Tupra, his spymaster boss, brings out a sword and uses it in a way that appalls Deza, who remonstrates: You can't just go around hurting and killing people like that.

Why not? asks Tupra.

Synopsis:

A book unlike any other, a daring experiential unfolding Spanish masterpiece, Your Face Tomorrow now leaps into uncharted new territory in Volume Two: Dance and Dream.

Synopsis:

Your Face Tomorrow, Javier Marias's dazzling unfolding magnum opus, is a novel in three parts, which began with Volume One: Fever and Spear. Described as a "brilliant dark novel" (Scotland on Sunday), the book now takes a wild swerve in its new volume. Skillfully constructed around a central perplexing and mesmerizing scene in a nightclub, Volume Two: Dance and Dream again features Jacques Deza. In Volume One he was hired by MI6 as a person of extraordinarily sophisticated powers of perception. In Volume Two Deza discovers the dark side of his new employer when Tupra, his spy-master boss, brings out a sword and uses it in a way that appalls Deza: You can't just go around hurting and killing people like that. Why not? asks Tupra.

Searching meditations on favors and jealousy, knowledge and the deep human desire not to know, violence and death play against memories of the Spanish Civil War as Deza's world becomes increasingly murky.
