“Javier Calvo’s Wonderful World is a unique, visionary novel: verbally magical, funny, and full of old-fashioned sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. This is the work of a marvelous literary talent.” — Clive Barker
Wonderful World is a bravura performance by a groundbreaking new writer—a novel set in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter made up of multiple storylines, including a fictional, unpublished manuscript by Stephen King. Javier Calvo is the heir apparent to such literary powerhouses as Roberto Bolaño, Michel Hoellebecq, Junot Díaz, Haruki Murakami, and Chuck Palahniuk—fans of these writers are sure to love Wonderful World.
Industry Reviews
"A frenetic and magnificent mashup of family drama, mob revenge story, and surreal mystery. . . . A fast-moving narrative overflowing with hilarious situations."
