An author (a version of Vila-Matas himself) presents a short "history" of a secret society, the Shandies, who are obsessed with the concept of "portable literature." The society is entirely imagined, but in this rollicking, intellectually playful book, its members include writers and artists like Marcel Duchamp, Aleister Crowley, Witold Gombrowicz, Federico Garc a Lorca, Man Ray, and Georgia O'Keefe. The Shandies meet secretly in apartments, hotels, and cafes all over Europe to discuss what great literature really is: brief, not too serious, penetrating the depths of the mysterious. We witness the Shandies having adventures in stationary submarines, underground caverns, African backwaters, and the cultural capitals of Europe.Binding Type: Paperback

Smells like fresh coffee very nice, it makes your hair baby soft and smelling good. I'm so glad I purchased this I use it once a week. I really see 👀 and feel the difference in my hair, I put and leave it in for 30 minutes after time ⏲️ up I massage 💆♀️ my head for 2 or 3 minutes then comb through my hair then shampoo and condition.

Not for anyone who has a sensitive nose.
Smooth feel and very moisturizing. Product needs to be washed out of hair and the aroma is over powering to the point where it did not agree with me. I will not buy this again.
