«Literati» is the mystery novel by Barry McCrea, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (375 pages, in Spanish).
Niall Lenihan arrives at Trinity College and becomes fascinated by a couple of students who practice an unusual literary cult: they use random passages from a book to answer every question. What seems like an innocent game turns into a disturbing addiction, and Niall investigates the origin of the sortes, an ancient divinatory practice.
Original title: The First Verse. The translation is by Luis Nacenta. The work was originally published in 2005; this Spanish edition is from 2006. The novel won the Ferro-Grumley Award in 2006.
Recommended for readers of mystery and dark academia, as well as for those who enjoy LGBTQ+ fiction and university settings.
