Novel. Written in the 1940s but left unpublished until 1990, this is Alfau's hilarious and innovative epic of American immigration. Its opening line is: "The moment one learns English, complications set in." It is exactly these "complications" to which we are treated over the course of this novel, which is at once darkly humorous and strangely apocalyptic. "Alfau has created a poetic, cinematic and glittering black comedy which works on many levels. His timeless creations take the longer view of history, and attempt to decide: 'whether my ancestors were but immigrants disguised as conquerors, or whether all aliens are but conquerors disguised as immigrants'"-Dublin Sunday Tribune. Felipe Alfau was born in 1902 in Barcelona. He immigrated to the United States during World War I, where he studied music and wrote music criticism. His only other novel, LOCOS, was published in 1936.
