Andrés Ibáñez: el heredero español de Pynchon?

[François Monti]

I am currently reading "El mundo en la era de Varick", in French 
translation. A good 200 pages in the book (there are 700 of them), I'm 
thinking about giving up -or not. He seems to have a good style, but I 
can't connect wiht what he writes. So far, it's very mystic and I'm not 
into that kind of things.  The story seems to be about a group of 
spanish people living in New York at the end of "Varick's era". Varick 
is a sort of creature in orbit around Earth that started communicating 
with humans in 1970. Ibañez hints very early that the events depicted in 
the book take place at the end of Varick's "life". So far, all the 
characters seem to have had some sort of spiritual experience. "V." is 
mentioned. So far, the book could go in any directions: boring, 
interesting, or even fascinating.
