LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL 2018 A TRUE STORY THAT
IS PACKED WITH FICTION - FICTION CREATED BY ITS MAIN CHARACTER,
ENRIC MARCO But who is Enric Marco? A veteran of the Spanish Civil
War, a fighter against fascism, an impassioned campaigner for
justice, and a survivor of the Nazi death camps? Or, is he simply
an old man with delusions of grandeur, a charlatan who fabricated
his heroic war record, who was never a prisoner in the Third Reich
and never opposed Franco; a charming, beguiling and compulsive liar
who refashioned himself as a defender of liberty and who was
unmasked in 2005 at the height of his influence and renown? In this
extraordinary novel - part narrative, part history, part essay,
part biography, part autobiography - Javier Cercas unravels the
enigma of the man and delves with passion and honesty into the most
ambiguous aspects of what makes us human - our infinite capacity
for self-deception, our need for conformity, our thirst for
affection and our conflicting needs for fiction and for truth.
Translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne
