Description

A novel discovered by miracle—printed only thirty years after the author’s death—is a curious literary laboratory where the themes and techniques of future works are developed by one of the most significant French writers of the 20th century.
Why does a virtuoso forger commit a murder? What does he seek in the image of a mercenary written by a great Italian?
Questioning memory and consciousness, Gaspar Winkler tears off the masks, in order to uncover, behind dozens of invented biographies, one single—real—life: his own.
