The Invented Part

Rodrigo Fresá n is the author of nine novels, including Kensington Gardens, Mantra, and The Bottom of the Sky. His works incorporate many elements from science-fiction (Philip K. Dick in particular) alongside pop culture and literary references. According to Jonathan Lethem, "he's a kaleidoscopic, open-hearted, shamelessly polymathic storyteller, the kind who brings a blast of oxygen into the room."

Will Vanderhyden received an MA in Literary Translation from the University of Rochester. He has translated fiction by Carlos Labbé , Edgardo Cozarinsky, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Juan Marsé , Rafael Sá nchez Ferlosio, Rodrigo Fresá n, and Elvio Gandolfo.
