About this ebook
Rodrigo Fresan
Rodrigo Fresán is the author of eleven works of fiction, including Kensington Gardens, Mantra, The Invented Part, winner of the 2018 Best Translated Book Award, and, most recently, Melvill. A self-professed “referential maniac,” his works incorporate many elements from science fiction (Philip K. Dick in particular) alongside pop culture and literary references. According to Jonathan Lethem, “he’s a kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the kind who brings a blast of oxygen into the room.” In 2017, he received the Prix Roger Caillois awarded by PEN Club France every year to both a French and a Latin American writer.

Reviews for Bottom of the Sky
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Up front, I am not a particular fan of the science fiction genre. I think this novel is brilliant! The prose is lovely, the characters are fascinating, and above all, the story is laced with thought provoking and evocative ideas and concepts. The reader is introduced to the original "Faraways", comprised of three young people who are passionate about science fiction. From there, blast off to planet Urkh 24 or That-Place-Where-The-Most-Disconsolate-Melodies-Can-Be-Heard. Be prepared to feel confused by multiple realities, merging of past, present, and future, and to read about the end....of us! Ultimately, the book is about the single-mindedness of love, its oblivion and its devotion. Quite a literary feat. Loved it!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The right-hand edge of each page is missing, making reading it very difficult.
