Description

Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his relationship to art.

Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship, Adam's 'research' becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain as fraudulent as he fears his poems are?

Is poetry an essential art form, or merely a screen for the reader's projections?

A witness to the 2004 Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic events or merely watch them pass him by?
