They are populated by strange characters: a man who discovers a passage that connects all the armoires on earth, a woman who finds her obsessions to be better company than her cats, a vacationer who prefers his pancreas to the Bahamas as a destination. Influenced by both Gabriel García Marquéz and Franz Kafka and resonant with Freudian concepts, Millás's fiction—ironic, humorous, dreamlike—raises questions about identity, society, and what is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her introduction, Pepa Anastasio places Millás in the context of modern Spain and provides commentary on the style and themes of a contemporary writer little of whose work has yet appeared in English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55324662956376,"sku":"9780873529389","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780873529389.jpg?v=1777032052","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/personality-disorders-and-other-stories","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
