In The Things We’ve Seen, his most ambitious and accomplished novel to date, Agustn Fern¡ndez Mallo captures the strangeness and interconnectedness of human existence in the twenty-first century. A writer travels to the small uninhabited island of San Sim³n, used as a Franquist concentration camp during the Spanish Civil War, and witnesses events which impel him on a wild goose chase across several continents. In Miami, an ageing Kurt Montana, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Neil Armstrong and co. to the moon, revisits the important chapters in his life, from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In Normandy, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the D-Day beaches with the goal of re-enacting, step by step, another trip taken years before. Described as the novel David Lynch and W. G. Sebald might have written had they joined forces to explore the B-side of reality, The Things We’ve Seen is a mind-bending novel for our disjointed times.

About Author
Agustn Fern¡ndez Mallo was born in La Coru±a in 1967, and is a qualified physicist. In 2 he formulated a self-termed theory of 'post-poetry' which explores connections between art and science. His Nocilla Trilogy, published between 26 and 29, brought about an important shift in contemporary Spanish writing and paved the way for the birth of a new generation of authors, known as the 'Nocilla Generation'. His essay Postpoesa: hacia un nuevo paradigma was shortlisted for the Anagrama Essay Prize in 29. In 218 his long essay Teora general de la basura (cultura, apropiaci³n, complejidad) was published by Galaxia Gutenberg, and in the same year his latest novel, The Things We've Seen, won the Biblioteca Breve Prize.
