Your Steps on the Stairs

“A masterly subtle trip into the mind of a man waiting for his wife amidst his apocalypse, Your Steps on the Stairs dissects the myriad distractions and deceits we cope with in this dystopic-modern world. In prose spun so expertly it leaves you daydreaming inside the elusive Lisbon and New York City of this novel, Muñoz Molina achieves a reverberant psychological unraveling that will suspend, overturn, and consume your optimism for reality.” —Xochitl Gonzalez, author of Olga Dies Dreaming
