Synopsis "The Nocilla Trilogy: Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Experience, Nocilla lab "

A landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, Agustin Fernandez Mallo’s Nocilla Trilogy—Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Lab, and Nocilla Experience—presents multiple narratives of people and places that reflect America and the world in the digital age of the twenty-first century.In the middle of the Nevada desert stands a solitary poplar tree covered in hundreds of pairs of shoes. Farther along Route 50, a lonely prostitute falls in love with a collector of found photographs. In Las Vegas, an Argentine man builds a peculiar monument to Jorge Luis Borges. On the run from the authorities, Kenny takes up permanent residence in the legal non-place of Singapore International Airport, while the novelists Enrique Vila-Matas and Agustín Fernández Mallo encounter each other on an oil rig.These are just a few of the narrative strands that make up Fernández Mallo’s Nocilla Trilogy—Nocilla Dream, Nocilla Experience, and Nocilla Lab. Greeted as a landmark in contemporary Spanish literature, the entire trilogy has not been available in English until now.“By juxtaposing fiction with non-fiction . . . the author has created a hybrid genre that mirrors our networked lives, allowing us to inhabit its interstitial spaces. A physician as well as an artist, Fernández Mallo can spot a mermaid’s tail in a neutron monitor; estrange theorems into pure poetry.” —Andrew Gallix, The Independent“An encyclopedia, a survey, a deranged anthropology: Nocilla Dream is just the coldhearted poetics that might see America for what it really is. There is something deeply strange and finally unknowable about this book, in the very best way.” —Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet

Agustín Fernández Mallo es un escritor, poeta y ensayista español nacido en La Coruña en 1967. Licenciado en Ciencias Físicas, ha desarrollado una obra literaria caracterizada por la fusión entre la ciencia, la cultura pop y la poesía, lo que lo convierte en una de las voces más singulares de la literatura contemporánea en lengua española. Su formación científica influye de manera notable en su estilo, que mezcla referencias tecnológicas, filosóficas y artísticas para explorar nuevas formas de narrar la realidad.

Es conocido por haber formulado el concepto de “postpoesía”, una corriente literaria que busca integrar el lenguaje poético con los códigos y estructuras del mundo digital y científico. Su trilogía Nocilla —compuesta por Nocilla Dream (2006), Nocilla Experience (2008) y Nocilla Lab (2009)— lo consagró como uno de los principales representantes de la llamada “Generación Nocilla”, un grupo de autores que renovó la narrativa española del siglo XXI.

Además de su labor narrativa, Fernández Mallo ha publicado ensayos y obras poéticas, y ha participado en proyectos artísticos interdisciplinarios. Su escritura cuestiona las fronteras entre géneros y propone una mirada fragmentaria, híbrida y profundamente contemporánea sobre el mundo actual.
