An author (a version of Vila-Matas himself) presents a short history of a secret society, the Shandies, who are obsessed with the concept of portable literature. The society is entirely imagined, but in this rollicking, intellectually playful book, its members include writers and artists like Marcel Duchamp, Aleister Crowley, Witold Gombrowicz, Federico Garcia Lorca, Man Ray, and Georgia O Keefe. The Shandies meet secretly in apartments, hotels, and cafes all over Europe to discuss what great literature really is: brief, not too serious, penetrating the depths of the mysterious. We witness the Shandies having adventures in stationary submarines, underground caverns, African backwaters, and the cultural capitals of Europe."

Bartleby y compañía trata de todos aquellos no escritores o escritores interruptus que han existido. Aquellos que, como Rimbaud o Rulfo, dejaron de escribir tras la publicación de sus obras maestras. Aquellos que nunca escribieron, como Sócrates o como Clément Cadou, que tras conocer a Witold Gombrowicz (a quien admiré mucho en mis juveniles años), decidió no escribir nunca y sólo fue autor de su epitafio, que pasó así a ser su opera omnia. Bartleby y compañía, nos remite a esos escritores del `No`, como él los llama, a los que han renunciado a la escritura (con pretexto o sin él) y también a la posibilidad de que esos libros en realidad no escritos, floten o estén en estado latente en el mundo, hasta que alguien los encuentre y los escriba. Habla también Vila-Matas de una biblioteca de libros no publicados en Burlington, Vermont (USA), en donde aquellos libros escritos, pero no leídos, son mimados, guardados y cuidados con esmero, a la espera de lector

Because She Never Asked is a story reminiscent of that reached by the travelers in Patricia Highsmith's Stranger on a Train. The author first writes a piece for the artist Sophie Calle to live out: a young, aspiring, French artist travels to Lisbon and the Azores in pursuit of an older artist whose work she’s in love with. The second part of the story tells what happens between the author and Calle. She eludes, him; he becomes blocked, and suffers physical collapse. “Something strange happened along the way,” Vila-Matas wrote. “Normally, writers try to pass a work of fiction off as being real. But in Because She Never Asked, the opposite occurred: in order to give meaning to the story of my life, I found that I needed to present it as fiction.”

Dietario voluble es, ante todo, un tapiz que se dispara en muchas direcciones. Este libro abarca los tres últimos años (2005-2008) del cuaderno de notas personal de Enrique Vila-Matas. Al tratarse de un diario literario que se origina en la lectura, es una obra escrita desde el centro mismo de la escritura. Combina los comentarios sobre libros leídos con la experiencia y la memoria personal, y va proponiendo la desaparición de ciertas fronteras narrativas y abriendo camino para la autobiografía amplia, siempre a la búsqueda de que lo real sea visto como espacio idóneo para acomodar lo imaginario, y así novelizar la vida. Compuesto en parte por notas que pasaron directamente del cuaderno personal del escritor a la edición dominical de El País de Cataluña, pero también por importantes fragmentos que no se movieron del cuaderno y que ahora dejan de ser inéditos, y también por notas que han sido escritas para completar esta edición

In this novel, Enrique Vila-Matas traces a journey connecting the worlds of Joyce and Beckett, and all they symbolize. One night, a renowned and now retired literary publisher has a vivid dream that takes place in Dublin, a city he’s never visited. The central scene of the dream is a funeral in the era of Ulysses. The publisher would give anything to know if an unidentified character in his dream is the great author he always wanted to meet, or the ghostly angel who abandoned him during childhood. As the days go by, he will come to understand that his vision of the end of an era was prophetic. Enrique Vila-Matas traces a journey that connects the worlds of Joyce and Beckett, revealing the difficulties faced by literary authors, publishers, and good readers in a society where literature is losing influence. A robust work, Dublinesque is a masterwork of irony, humor, and erudition by one of Spain’s most celebrated living authors

Este inquietante y misterioso libro criminal fue escrito por Enrique Vila-Matas cuando en 1975 vivía en París y leyó que a Unamuno, mientras vivía en esa misma ciudad, se le ocurrió la idea de una novela que provocara la muerte de quien la leyera. Vila-Matas sufrió un leve revés cuando, al decidir llevar a cabo el proyecto de este libro asesino, y comentárselo a Marguerite Duras, que era entonces su casera, ella le dijo que se trataba de algo irrealizable, que nunca ningún libro fue como la tumba de Tutankhamon, lo que llevó a Vila-Matas a comprender que sólo lograría el efecto mortal buscado si practicaba el crimen en el espacio estricto de la escritura. Publicado por primera vez en 1977, La asesina ilustrada significó la revelación de Vila-Matas como escritor

The narrator of Montano’s Malady is a writer named Jose who is so obsessed with literature that he finds it impossible to distinguish between real life and fictional reality. Part picaresque novel, part intimate diary, part memoir and philosophical musings, Enrique Vila-Matas has created a labyrinth in which writers as various as Cervantes, Sterne, Kafka, Musil, Bolano, Coetzee, and Sebald cross endlessly surprising paths. Trying to piece together his life of loss and pain, Jose leads the reader on an unsettling journey from European cities such as Nantes, Barcelona, Lisbon, Prague and Budapest to the Azores and the Chilean port of Valparaiso. Exquisitely witty and erudite, it confirms the opinion of Bernardo Axtaga that Vila-Matas is "the most important living Spanish writer."

A puzzling phone call shatters a writer s routine. An enigmatic female voice extends a dinner invitation, and it soon becomes clear that this is an invitation to take part in the documenta, the legendary exhibition of contemporary art held every five years in Kassel, Germany. The writer s mission will be to sit down to write every morning in a Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of town, transforming himself into a living art installation. Once in Kassel, the writer is surprised to find himself overcome by good cheer as he strolls through the city, spurred on by the endless supply of energy at the heart of the exhibition. This is his spontaneous, quirky response to art, rising up against pessimism.With humor, profundity, and a sharp eye, Enrique Vila-Matas tells the story of a solitary man, who, roaming the streets amid oddities and wonder, takes it upon himself to translate from a language he does not understand."
