Winner of the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize, USA & Canada

A dying father in the grip of fever and delirium recounts his youth, hisGrand Tour, the Venetian palaces populated by fascinating and evil figures, his ruin, and his most beautiful journey—the crossing on foot of the frozen Hudson River.Hisson, still a child, sitsat the foot of the bed, attentively collectingthesefinal, hallucinated words.

Could the work of Herman Melville—masterful author, misunderstood, far too ahead of his time, and considered crazy and dangerous by some critics—haveasits source this ultimate paternal legacy?

Questioning the intricacies of fiction, which constantly oscillatatesbetween reality and imagination, Rodrigo Fresán'sapproaches the enigma of the literary vocation in a new light.An invented biography, a gothic novel populated by ghosts, and an evocation of a filial love, Melvill contains all the talent, humor, and immense culture found in the other great works from one of Spanish literature's most ambitious writers.
