Ahora tocad música de baile

The characters in this novel find themselves overwhelmed by the totemic catalyst that is Isabel Fonseca, as she becomes ill with Alzheimer's. A domestic novel that plows deep psychological depths, in which three voices alternate; Ahora tocad música de baile is above all an epic poem and a fascinating study about the inevitability of an illness that imposes its own urgency. Andres Barba is a modern Henry James, blessed with an extraordinary capacity to describe strange and worrying inner worlds. A complex tale that takes on the ineffable, incomprehensible nature of the limits of the human condition.
