From the author of The Endless Rose comes a deeply psychological story of a photographer obsessed with capturing the true essence of human nature. The Stars will take you on a journey through the darkest parts of the human condition to uncover luminous beauty that is all too often overshadowed. When Jordi Carrera, a shy photojournalist from Barcelona, agrees to catch up with a few of his colleagues to celebrate what might be a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, one of them is found dead by an apparent suidide. Shaken but undaunted, Jordi picks up where he suspects his friend left off, taking a trip down to southern Spain on his own account in hopes of getting some worthwhile photos related to news stories of what seem like underage prostitutes’ suicides. In the process, he disappears from the lives of Emma, the first woman he’s ever loved, and of Joao Silva, his fellow photographer. If they look for him, what will they find?

At a New Year’s Eve party, a dead woman turns up alive again, after passing through a mysterious post-mortem way station located on another planet, and much to the disbelief of her old flame, who interprets the night’s events with the help of his reading of Kafka. A priest is sent by the Vatican to investigate a strange development in the American cattle market: a breed of cows identical in all physical respects to human women. A man leaves his wife and flees to the north of Spain, where he meets a sickly woman in an empty café, introduces himself as Jorge Walser, and makes plans with her to disappear. Aboard a trans-atlantic cruise, a door-to-door vacuum salesman bumps into a woman who appears to be Natassja Kinski, and they swap tall tales as the ship floats them asymptotically toward world’s end. Christ turns out to be a girl who fronts a punk band. The words of such writers as Beckett, Walser, Chekhov, Gombrowicz, Bolaño, Kafka, Blanchot, and Borges are characters in themselves.The Irish Sea is a novel masquerading as a book of short stories. A meditation on the paradox of nostalgia, which always seems to pine for what never was. A fevered search for order through writing, of truth through literature, of the nodal point where life and literature intersect. A strange personal gallery curated by a razor-sharp reader and his other, unknown self.
