A landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, AgustÃn Fernández
Mallo's Nocilla Trilogy – made up of the novels Nocilla Dream,
Nocilla Experience and Nocilla Lab – is a project for our time.
Reading takes the form of literary channel surfing: we flick
through an audacious network of chopped-up stories, recycled texts
and mixed-media collages, and try to find the signal in the noise,
reflecting the dizzying search for meaning that characterizes life
in our digital age. The globe-spanning narratives that
explode across the trilogy take us from a lone poplar tree in the
Nevada desert to a barnacle-covered cliff in Galicia, Spain,
through scientific treatises and film-editing manuals, personal
journals and comic strips. The books are full of references to
indie cinema, theoretical physics, conceptual art, practical
architecture, the history of computers and the decadence of the
novel. And yet, for all the freewheeling, fragmentary swagger, a
startling order emerges and takes hold. Peerless in its daring,
Nocilla Trilogy charts a hidden and exhilarating cartography of
contemporary experience.Â
