Samuel Riba is about to turn 60. A successful publisher in Barcelona, he is increasingly prone to attacks of anxiety and, looking for distraction, he concocts a spur-of-the-moment trip to Dublin, a city he has never visited but once dreamed about. He sets off for Dublin on the pretext of honouring James Joyce's Ulysses on Bloomsday.

Rezension zu „Dublinesque “
"One of the most pleasurable and joyous novels of the year" -- John Self Independent "A brilliant, funny novel; an expertly woven tapestry of literary allusions. Enrique Vila-Matas has created a masterpiece" -- Jacqueline McCarrick Times Literary Supplement "Hugely entertaining.Vila-Matas enjoyed himself writing Dublinesque, that is obvious, and the reader will also enjoy - and collaborate in - this delightful literary exercise that is clever without being knowing, lightly erudite but never pretentious" -- Eileen Battersby Irish Times "Vila Matas's novel is full of spectres, absences, near-misses. Like Becket, it is apocalypse without the drama. Dublinesque is a postmodern meditation on a high modernist text, full of cryptic crosses between fiction and reality" -- Terry Eagleton London Review of Books "An extremely clever book, an obvious affection response to Joyce, to Ulysses , to all serious literature" -- Kevin Breathnach Totally Dublin
