Description

The Book of Chameleons by José Eduardo Agualusa is a poetic and beguiling meditation on truth and storytelling. In this narrative that darts between past and present, memories are sold and identities wiped clean, as a world where the truth seems to shift from moment to moment comes into focus. A cast of characters - including an albino man, a beautiful woman, a mysterious foreigner, and a witty talking lizard - come together to discover their real origins. The result is a gripping tale that explores the nature of history itself, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. Translated from the Portuguese by Daniel Hahn, this book has been hailed as a work of fierce originality, drawing comparisons to J.M. Coetzee and Gabriel García Márquez.
