6. Enrique Vila-Matas, Vampire in Love
安立奎·维拉-马塔斯《恋爱中的吸血鬼》
Barcelona-born Vila-Matas has published more than 20 novels, and won the
2014 Prix Formentor. This selection of 19 stories showcases his dark yet
whimsical wit and genre-blending tendencies. In the title story, a desperate man
with two sharp vampire's teeth has a sinful eye for an altar boy. The narrator
calls him "Saint Nosferatu". "Like all those in love", Vila-Matas writes, "he is
both vampire and martyr".
