Juan Jos\u00e9 Saer was one of the greatest Spanish-language<\/del> writers of the past hundred years. When he passed away in 2005, he was working on La Grande<\/em>,<\/a> a novel that brings together a number of characters from his earlier works in an exploration and ends with one of the greatest final lines in literature: “With the rain came the fall, and with the fall, the time of the wine.” (You can read a longer excerpt of Steve Dolph’s translation by clicking here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

If you’ve read Saer before, you’re undoubtedly dying to get your hands on this; if you’ve never read him, this, despite being his last book, is a fantastic place to start. <\/p>\n

To help everyone out, we’re giving away 15 copies through GoodReads. All the info on entering is below—just make sure you do it before March 24th. <\/p>\n

And if you’d rather just forgo the whole “entering a drawing” aspect, you can just preorder the book via your favorite bookselling outlet, or via our website.<\/a><\/p>\n
