A person wakes up in an unknown place - perhaps in a hospital room, but this is inaccurate - and does not remember anything about himself at all. “Call me Ishmael,” he suggests to the doctors, whom, in the absence of other versions, he names Yuri Zhivago and Madame Bovary. A man painfully remembers what happened to him (some kind of accident? and, it seems, he had love? and should he really be called Ishmael?). He describes circles near the solution, getting closer and closer to it, like a night moth that circles in the darkness and is doomed to die in the flames. In the meantime, just as cautiously and uncertainly around the man, narrowing the ring, his innocent victim and the involuntary Nemesis, the future narrator of his story and just a confused orphaned teenager, who once was the man himself, walks around. Jaume Cabre (b. 1947) - the biggest star of Catalan literature; his books have been translated into dozens of languages, their circulation exceeds one million copies. His new novel And We Are Devoured by Fire (the first in ten years since the landmark, award-winning I Confess) is a subtle parable, a song to the glory of literature and intense noir: there will be sudden insights, inconsolable grief, true tenderness, murder, amnesia, chases, a mysterious femme fatale, as well as a boar family, without which this story would not have happened at all.
