Mr. Palomar, whose name purposely evokes that of the famous telescope, is a seeker after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous. Whether contemplating a cheese, a woman's breasts, or a gorilla's behavior, he brings us a vision of a world familiar by consensus, fragmented by the burden of individual perception.

Translated by William Weaver.

I love this book so much. It is probably the closest thing to a true synthesis of poetry, philosophy, and fiction I have ever come across. Great piece of literature.

This is an AMAZING Book!
