Circular 22

Circular 22 closes the work in progress begun by Vicente Luis Mora at the end of the nineties. This 'total novel' (Eloy Fernández Porta), which has also been defined as 'world city' (Alice Pantel) or 'textual rhizome' (Marco Kunz), is a multi-genre literary project, whose pieces -which can be read in any order- have been multiplied for this definitive version. From its initial location in Madrid, over the decades it has expanded to Europe and America, now offering a section set in North Africa. Polyphonic and open, Circular 22 is a laboratory where all sorts of genres, styles, characters, voices, traditions and stories are mixed and fused, allowing us to read the crisis of the contemporary subject, of its urban environment as a vital conditioning factor and of nomadism (cultural or real) as an aesthetic horizon. This work in progress, developed over a quarter of a century, takes the Earth as a space and turns it into a writing field to express contemporary anguish, the thickness of life, the wild light of the fantastic, the real and the unreal, the possible and the impossible.
