Descrição: In this witty, Borges-like novel, A.S. Byatt weaves a dazzling fiction out of one mans search for fact. Fed up with stultifying criticism, Phineas G. decides to study the messiness of real things and facts. Doing nothing by halves he sets out to write a biography of a great biographer. But a whole life is hard to find. How do we put the idea of a person together? Everywhere he looks he finds fragments and gaps: bones and husks, boxes of marbles, collections of tools and randomly assorted photographs. Trails run cold and mysteries are unresolved.Encadernação original com sobre capa. Usado em bom estado. 22, 5 cm.. 265 páginas. L1E 42/2
