"My life will not make any sense when Attila is finished," declared Aliocha Coll
about his mesmerizing final novel. In this groundbreaking "untranslatable" work,
he channels Joycean experimentalism to explore the fragility of empires, the
future of the city, and the weight of legacy.
Attila the Hun, reimagined as a visionary leader, contemplates the fate of his
people at the gates of Rome. His son, Quijote, is caught between empires and
ideals, forced to choose between his father's vision of a Hunnic utopia and the
decaying allure of Roman civilization. As Rome burns, Quijote journeys through
both real and surreal landscapes, encountering psychedelic visions, mystical
revelations, and existential dilemmas.
Quijote's journey blurs the lines between past and future, uniting Biblical,
Classical, and Buddhist traditions while moving between planes of existence.
Attila is an intricate and elusive masterpiece from the explosive and
disorienting imagination of Aliocha...
