Alicia Kopf Bücher

Alicia Kopf's genre-defying book rises as clear and cold as an Arctic sea, floating with ideas that, like icebergs, are buoyed up by meaning and memory below their surface.' Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan.'In another country this book would have changed the course of history.' Enrique Vila-Matas.'As if by sleight of hand, Kopf displays a wide range of emotions before us. Like the Poles, they are constantly shifting, and inevitably epic.' Agustín Fernández Mallo.'A unconventional look at a world that makes [Kopf] feel uncomfortable . . . a text in which the feats of polar explorers give way to a central autobiographical story about the equally harsh and arid trips through family relationships and within oneself.' El País.'Simultaneously serious and light, incidental and yet trascendental.' El Periódico'A book, part essay and part autobiography, that is also a chronicle of a generation stalled in a world without horizons or certainties . . . An unusual book and the deserving winner of the Premi Documenta literary award.'La Vanguardia
