Leaving the Atocha Station

This insanely good debut novel has been gathering dust on our shelves--and to let this go on is just a crime. Pass Atocha Station up and you'll miss meeting one of the wickedest charmers of in recent fiction, skip a life-changing trip to Madrid in the months surrounding the 3/11 bombings, and finally starve yourself of some of the smartest, most stylish writing to be savored in years. Strike a blow for great books!! DO IT!! ~ Reviewed by Charles Bottomley
