The Man of Feeling by Javier Marías
A story of love and memory from "the most subtle and gifted writer in contemporary Spanish literature" ( The Boston Globe) and the award-winning, international bestselling author of The Infatuations . On a train journey from Paris to Madrid a young opera singer becomes fascinated by those in his a middle-aged businessman, his alluring wife, and their male traveling companion.

Soon his life of constant travel, luxury hotels, rehearsal and performance will become entangled with these three people, and the singer will find himself fatefully consumed by Natalia's beauty.

The Man of Feeling is the haunting story of the birth and death of a passion, told in retrospect. Intricately interweaving desire and memory, it explores the nature of love, and asks whether we can ever truly recall something that no longer exists.
