París no se acaba nunca

Synopsis of París no se acaba nunca

In 'París no se acaba nunca', Enrique Vila-Matas ironically recreates his experiences in the Paris of the seventies, evoking the atmosphere of Hemingway's 'Paris was a feast'. The author narrates his attempt to live like his idol, being welcomed by Marguerite Duras instead of Gertrude Stein. Instead of rubbing shoulders with figures like Scott Fitzgerald or Picasso, he interacts with personalities like Roland Barthes and Isabelle Adjani. This autobiographical novel establishes a connection between the real and the fictitious, where the author fictionalizes his own identity in a convincing way.
