Product Description:

Poison, Shadow, and Farewell, with its heightened tensions between meditations and noir narrative, with its wit and and ever deeper forays into the mysteries of consciousness, brings to a stunning finale Mar�as's three-part Your Face Tomorrow. Already this novel has been acclaimed "exquisite" (Publishers Weekly), "gorgeous" (Kirkus), and "outstanding: another work of urgent originality" (London Independent). Poison, Shadow, and Farewell takes our hero Jaime Deza--hired by MI6 as a person of extraordinarily sophisticated powers of perception--back to Madrid to both spy on and try to protect his own family, and into new depths of love and loss, with a fluency on the subject of death that could make a stone weep.

Review:

His most moving and personal work to date.--Megan Doll

A seriousness of purpose, an eagerness to engage with ... metaphysical questions and to incorporate them into a gripping story.--Tess Lewis

A literary tour de force ... as much about the past from which we are made as the present we have become.

The strange mixture of high cultural references and Jaques' essentially thriller-like story line, make for a reading experience like no other.

Here's the wonderfully parenthetical operations of a human mind in the 21st century.--Mauro Javier Cardenas

He mediates thriller or noir scenarios through a formidably erudite and elegant and sophisticated consciousness.--Mark Ford

This deeply strange creation...may very well be the first authentic literary masterpiece of the 21st century.--James Lasdun

Quite unlike anything else today.... One of the finest novels of modern times.--Tim Martin

The conclusion...is to be reminded of the intricacy with which he has fitted his pieces into the larger part.--Colin Torre

This brilliant trilogy must be one of the greatest novels of our age.--Antony Beevor ""Books of the Year" "
