What is actual when our experiences are mediated by language, technology, medication, and the arts? Is poetry an essential art form, or merely a screen for the readers projections? Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship, Adam’s “research” becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain as fraudulent as he fears his poems are? A witness to the 2004 Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic events or merely watch them pass him by?In prose that veers between the comic and tragic, the self-contemptuous and the inspired, Leaving the Atocha Station is a portrait of the artist as a young man in an age of Google searches, pharmaceuticals, and spectacle.Born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979, Ben Lerner is the author of three books of poetry The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path.

The second half picked up when I learned that the narrator was bipolar. I laughed a few times and cringed when he had to read his poetry in public. So I finally did develop some empathy for him despite the fact that he was unlikeable, lazy and perpetually stoned. I also liked the uplifting ending which seemed earned and not tagged on. However, if I could have, I would have given the novel two and and a half not three stars. But, to paraphrase the main character, whatever...
