 "Javier Calvo's Wonderful World is a unique, visionary novel: verbally magical, funny, and full of old-fashioned sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. This is the work of a marvelous literary talent." -- Clive Barker

Wonderful World is a bravura performance by a groundbreaking new writer--a novel set in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter made up of multiple storylines, including a fictional, unpublished manuscript by Stephen King. Javier Calvo is the heir apparent to such literary powerhouses as Roberto Bolano, Michel Hoellebecq, Junot Diaz, Haruki Murakami, and Chuck Palahniuk--fans of these writers are sure to love Wonderful World.
