Javier Marías’ new 408 page novel Los Enamoramientos (The Flirtations, The Infatuated, The Infatuations, Fallings in Love (ahh, the challenge of translation))will be published in Spain on July 30. Buzz for the book has been mounting, and its being hailed as the next A Heart So White.  

According to Conversational Reading, “[Los Enamoramientos] is 400 pages in Spanish, and Marías writes from a woman’s perspective, I believe for the first time in his career as a novelist. It’s about her obsession with a couple that appears happy, and who suddenly disappear (this detail being given, typically for Marías, on the first line)” Longtime Marías translator, Margaret Jull Costa, is slated to translate it.  

There is already a facebook fanpage for the Los Enamoramientos where you can keep up with all the latest news and press (in Spanish). Also, below is a news clip of Javier Marías discussing Los Enamoramientos (in Spanish).
