Dozens of characters populate these storylines, including Nula, the wine salesman, ladies’ man, and part-time philosopher; Lucía, the woman he’s lusted after for years; and Tomatis, a journalist whom Saer fans have encountered many times before. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in Saer’s trademark style, this lyrically gorgeous book—which touches on politics, artistic beliefs, illicit love affairs, and everything else that makes up life—ends with one of the greatest lines in all of literature: “With the rain came the fall, and with the fall, the time of the wine.” (Read an Excerpt)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated from the Spanish by Steve Dolph\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Letter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988676194612,"sku":null,"price":1210.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/6434\/7188\/files\/La_Grande_cvr_large_fea0a651-0727-4a47-b703-72d71ce5b249.webp?v=1767411262","url":"https:\/\/shop.tadiarlibrary.org\/products\/la-grande","provider":"Puón Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
