The Man of Feeling is a story of love and memory by Javier Marias,
whose highly-anticipated new novel The Infatuations is published in
2013. On a train journey from Paris to Madrid a young opera singer
becomes fascinated by those in his compartment: a middle-aged
businessman, his alluring wife and their male travelling companion.
Soon his life of constant travel, luxury hotels, rehearsal and
performance will become entangled with these three people, and the
singer will find himself fatefully consumed by Natalia's beauty.
The Man of Feeling is the haunting story of the birth and death of
a passion, told in retrospect. Intricately interweaving desire and
memory, it explores the nature of love, and asks whether we can
ever truly recall something that no longer exists.
