Description As Books Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me

"No one ever suspects," begins Tomorrow in the Battle Think On Me, "that they might one day find themselves with a dead woman in their arms...." Marta has just met Victor when she invites him to dinner at her Madrid apartment while her husband is away on business. When her two-year-old son finally falls asleep, Marta and Victor retreat to the bedroom. Undressing, she suddenly feels ill; and in his arms, inexplicably, she dies. What should Victor do? Remove the compromising tape from the phone machine? Leave food for the child, for breakfast? These are just his first steps, but he soon takes matters further; unable to bear the shadows and the unknowing, Victor plunges into dark waters. And Javier Marías, Europe's master of secrets, of what lies reveal and truth may conceal, is on sure ground in this profound, quirky, and marvelous novel. "Brilliantly imagined and hugely intricate," as La Vanguardia noted, "it is a novel one reads with enormous pleasure."

Article Of Books Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me

When I had around thirty or so pages left to read, I felt a real stab of melancholy, a pungent sadness, that I would soon be finished with this particular narrator and his story - I liked him, commiserated with him, enjoyed the manner in which he presented his fascinating tale, the thoughtfulness with which he considered what had (seemingly) transpired, both to himself and (allegedly) to others, during the period of his enchantment, his haunting by the dead spirit of an unconsummated lover.

He must have thought his luck was in, they arranged to meet around her place, she had a two year old son, who was hopefully now off in the land of dreams, just the two of them alone in her bedroom, the muted TV is playing an old black and white movie with subtitles, after a few glasses of wine to soften the mood he is hopeful one thing will lead to another, gearing up for the moment passion takes hold, he wants her. The last thing he expected was for her to die, suddenly, at that very moment. A

Morpheus sister from the Sandman series reminds us at one point (in Brief Lives I think) that we all know how every story ends. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable. She is the avatar of Death, so I guess she knows what she's talking about. Javier Marias protagonist of this here story has all the pretending stripped off from his life when a casual romantic encounter ends with the woman dead in his arms. He becomes obsessed not so much with the fragility of existence, but

It is unbearable that people we know should suddenly be relegated to the past.Death is inevitable. From the very first page of Javier Marías flawlessly executed novel Tomorrow In the Battle Think On Me, death becomes a constant companion to the reader, always whispering in our ear the truths of our impermanence and the endless variety of possible deaths that await us horrible deaths, ridiculous deaths, death that may make a stranger laugh when they read it in the paper. Any dead life lasts

Marvellous. Loved the serpentine sentences with their astonishing thought-within-thought, near-metaphysical poetic lilt, preference for the cosy comma over the sloppy semicolon, their use of not-oft-seen things like reported speech (and thought!) within parentheses, or another characters dialogue(!), repeated phrases (dark back of time about six times) and callback to earlier passages and quotations to elevate the plot matter to something loftier than the obvious. Mike is rightMarías, aside from

4.5. What struck me most in the first hundred pages is how the narrator stands aloof from what occurs and the people involved, describing and speculating with little knowledge. This is both very unusual and very common. It is how we are, it is how we deal with uncertainty and a lack of knowledge, it is even a way we entertain ourselves (and each other). And yet this is an approach that is rarely employed by fiction writers.Its also interesting that a screenwriter (the narrator) employs little

This book is simply unbelievable. The happenings Marias appeals to in order to convey his ideas are quite far-fetched (I also found some of the happenings from A Heart So White, the other book of his I was quite fascinated with far-fetched), but this fact doesnt make it less great. Now, after I have read some of Marias works, I can say that one certainly reads him for the philosophy behind, for the richness of ideas that makes one question human emotions, for the paradoxes he analyses and less
