(synopsis)
When Nuria Marti, the beautiful Spanish figure skater, is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team, a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old mansion on the outskirts of their seaside town. What he doesn't tell her is that he paid for it using embezzled public funds. Such deceit is not without repercussions, and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene ...Rife with political corruption, sex, jealousy and frustrated passion, The Skating Rink -- narrated in turn by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous local entrepreneur -- is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives.
Review
''There is much intensity at work, although 'The Skating Rink' leavens the melancholy of exile with an interest in the uncanny and a knack for the surrealist image.'' --Siddhartha Deb - Times Literary Supplement
''Exquisite . . . another unlikely masterpiece, as sui generis as all his books so far. The Skating Rinkmanages to honor genre conventions while simultaneously exploding them, creating a work of intense and unrealized longing.'' --Wyatt Mason - The New York Times Book Review
