Maqroll the Gaviero (the Lookout) is one of the most alluring and memorable characters in fiction of the last twenty-five years.
His extravagant and hopeless undertakings, his brushes with the law and scrapes with death, and his enduring friendships and unlooked-for love affairs make him a Don Quixote for our day, driven from one place to another by a restless and irregular quest for the absolute.
Álvaro Mutis’s seven dazzling chronicles of the adventures and misadventures of Maqroll have won him numerous honours and a passionately devoted readership throughout the world. Here for the first time in English all these wonderful stories appear in a single volume in Edith Grossman’s prize-winning translation.
