The Infatuations" is a metaphysical murder mystery and a stunningly original literary achievement by Javier Marias the internationally acclaimed author of "A Heart So White" and "Your Face Tomorrow". Every day Maria Dolz stops for breakfast at the same cafe. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren't there and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man lying stabbed in the street his shirt half off that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards when the woman returns to the cafe with her children who are then collected by a different man and Maria approaches her to offer her condolences an entanglement begins which sheds new light on this apparently random pointless death. With "The Infatuations" Javier Marias brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry addressing existential questions of life death love and morality. "The Infatuations" is an extraordinary immersive book about the terrible force of events and their consequences. "I am greatly impressed by the quality of Marias' writing ...he uses language like an anatomist uses the scalpel to cut away the layers of the flesh in order to lay bare the innermost secrets of that strangest of species the human being". (W. G. Sebald). "Years ago I said that Marias was Spain's best living writer...Nothing afterwards has made me alter that opinion". (Eduardo Mendoza "El Pais"). "[I am] enthralled by his strange mix of made-up memories lost experiences and real-life fantasies". (Marina Warner "Guardian"). "Stylish cerebral...Marias is a startling talent". ("The New York Times"). "Sentence by glorious sentence is there a better novelist alive in Europe now than Javier Marias?". ("Independent") Javier Marias was born in Madrid in 1951.
