I think I read the Catalan translation of "Follies", which puts you one step away from the narrative, but you could still tell he writes well. He is very confident through all the odd mix of things that happen (both in the real narrative and the story-within-a-story), but I couldn't find the common thread to hold them all together. I will certainly read more.

I will add 'Yellow Blue Tibia" to my list (although not any time soon, sadly). Good books are good to find. Thanks!
