Verbalia is a book by Màrius Serra that explores the world of word games and the efforts of literary ingenuity. The author maps a formidable terra incognita, the country of Verbalia, full of tropes and ludolinguistic texts in five languages. Serra analyzes how word games go beyond simple jokes, linking the enigma of the Sphinx with cabalistic methods, baroque devices, avant-garde games, and even press pastimes. This book is a journey through a land populated by verbivorous beings, where it is discovered that the mechanisms that generate word games are universal.
Màrius Serra i Roig is a Spanish writer, journalist, translator and television maker.
