I
haven't found much about this in English, but the Spanish papers and
blogosphere are abuzz with news of a new novel. “So Bad Begins”,
the new novel by Javier Marías, comes out in the Spanish-speaking
world on September 23, 2014, published as usual by Alfaguara.
Javier Marias states this
about his new novel: "It's a book about desire as one of the
strongest engines in the lives of people, which sometimes overrides
any loyalty, consideration and even respect in the treatment of
others. Another theme of the novel is the impunity and the
arbitrariness of forgiveness and no forgiveness. The idea of
justice demands that people sometimes have much to do with the
act itself and that does and does not affects us.”
