A collage of Proust-like "remembrances" but the taste is now that of pasta, or that of a drop of grappa from a nursemaid's teat; the smells and the diseases African; the drugs Notting Hill Gate's and its melodrama (with it suitably purple prose) typically "espanish"and, all the while,a man in a wheelchair watches World Cup Football, an AIDS victim writes poetry while a couple of lunatics invoke the end of the world for all those with names ending in O and all the Book is actually searching for is not only its lost Authors but also those whom they've so unashamedly stolen from.
