Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. On the Edge opens with the discovery of a rotting corpse in the marshes on the outskirts of Olba, Spain a town wracked by despair after the burst of the economic bubble, and a microcosm of a world of defeat, debt and corruption. Stuck in this town is Esteban his small factory bankrupt, his investments stolen by a`friend, and his unloved father, a mute invalid, entirely his personal burden. Much of the novel unfolds in Estebans raw and tormented monologues. But other voices resound from the wreckage and their words, sharp as knives, crowd their terse, hypnotic monologues of ruin, prostitution and loss. Chirbes alternates this choir of voices with a majestic third-person narration, injecting a profound and moving lyricism and offering the hope that a new vitality can emerge from the putrid swamps. On the Edge, even as it excoriates, pulsates with robust life, and its rhythmic, torrential style marks the novel as an indelible masterpiece. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
