Leaving the Atocha Station
by Ben Lerner
Ben Lerner's debut novel, which won the 2011 Believer Award, follows a young poet over the course of a year-long Fulbright scholarship in Madrid. Praised for both its humour and intelligence, Leaving the Atocha StationĀ offers both a biting satire of the art world, and a vivid insight into the anxieties of the creative process.
