In The Things We've Seen, his most ambitious and accomplished novel
to date, Agustin Fernandez Mallo captures the strangeness and
interconnectedness of human existence in the twenty-first century.
A writer travels to the small uninhabited island of San Simon, used
as a Franquist concentration camp during the Spanish Civil War, and
witnesses events which impel him on a wild goose chase across
several continents. In Miami, an ageing Kurt Montana, the fourth
astronaut who secretly accompanied Neil Armstrong and co. to the
moon, revisits the important chapters in his life, from serving in
the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In
Normandy, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the D-Day beaches
with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, another trip taken
years before. Described as the novel David Lynch and W. G. Sebald
might have written had they joined forces to explore the B-side of
reality, The Things We've Seen is a mind-bending novel for our
disjointed times.
