the long version

A Turkish writer, Emin Kemal was in the midst of a career decline when he dies under strange circumstances. His Spanish translator is implicated in the writer's death, and finds himself caught up in a plot that will force him to uncover his own past and the life of Emin Kemal in Istanbul. And in the center, an ambitious woman stands neither of them can escape. This new novel by Luis Leante is a carefully crafted house of mirrors, a disquieting tale of the role identity and literature play in our existence. It is a story of secrets and passions, of the love for books, for stories, for storytelling = Una novela sobre secretos y pasiones, sobre el amor por los libros, por las historias y por contarlas. Las vidas paralelas de un escritor, Emin Kemal, y su traductor, frustrado por su falta de talento literario. Y en el centro, una mujer ambiciosa a cuyo alrededor giran los dos hombres incapaces de escapar del circulo. Un autor turco en el declive de su carrera muere en extranas circunstancias. Su traductor al castellano se vera envuelto en la muerte del escritor y en una trama que lo obligara a destapar su propio pasado y el de Emin Kemal en Estambul. En la atmosfera de confusion flota la presencia oscura de Derya, esposa y amante. Un conmovedor viaje por el tiempo, por paisajes y personajes que nos resultan cercanos y exoticos a la vez gracias a la habilidad narrativa de Luis Leante.
