Description

A famous actor loses his sense of self and begins impersonating himself at a lookalike contest. A Brazilian author of self-help books starts doubting everything he has written. A low-level manager takes a lover and begins leading a double life, getting more and more tangled in his own lies. An office worker dreams of getting into a book by Leo Richter. And Leo Richter writes a story about his lover. This book is about doubles, shadows, and reflections, about the fragility of reality, the power of chance, and the interweaving of everything in the universe. Where do reflections end and reality begin? Nobody knows. “We’re all always living inside some kind of story—stories within stories within stories,” Leo Richter says.
