Description
Jacob the Mutant by Mario Bellatin is a novella that defies traditional narrative structures. Conceived as a set of fragmentary manuscripts from an unpublished Joseph Roth novel, it tells the story of Jacob, an ersatz rabbi and owner of a roadside tavern. However, when reality shifts, so does Jacob, mutating into another person entirely, while the novella itself transforms into another story. Cleverly translated by Jacob Steinberg, this edition includes a translator's afterword and explanatory maps by illustrator Zsu Szkurka. The result is a unique reading experience that challenges the boundaries between reality and fiction. With its innovative structure and exploration of identity, Jacob the Mutant offers a thought-provoking read for those interested in experimental literature.
