The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
This book is the author's first novel written in English. The protagonist Sebastian wrote several books and died young due to a heart disease. He was lost in love once in his short life.

Fragments echo throughout the book, exploring time, love, death, art and other eternal themes in a gorgeous and simple way.
