Descrição da contracapa
Completed while he was dying, William Goyen's Arcadio is one of the most affecting and imaginative farewells to life ever written.

Speaking intimately to the reader, he tells the bizarre and fantastic tale of his life. This unforgettable novel is the crown of Goyen's exploration of the forms and feelings that could be compassed within fiction.
