Biografi [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

'Biografi leaves you wishing that a real-life Shapallo may still show up' * Catherine Shoard, Scotsman * Lloyd Jones brings to life the transformative power of fiction * Sunday Times * Lloyd Jones gives the tired post-colonial themes of self-reinvention ... a fresh, ingenious twist but his real achievement is bringing life and depth to his characters * Sunday Telegraph * Being a truthful writer, Jones sees nothing; neither his heroes nor his villains in black and white. His is a bold inquiry into the way that we construct and repair our communities, and ourselves, with stories old and new * The Times * Jones proves sly, engaging, worth-reading and even re-reading * London Review of Books * PRAISE FOR LLOYD JONES * - * 'This is a clever, surreal and mysterious read, certainly worth resuscitating' * Zoe Strimpel, City A.M. * 'Curious and compelling' * Donal O'Donoghue, RTE Guride * A gem of the genre * New York Times Book Review * 'An enlightening read' * Alastair Mabbott, Herald (Glasgow) * 'Biografi starts big and then zooms in. This is Jones's skill: to draw tiny details that contain the world' * Katy Guest, Independent * 'A compelling hybrid' * Jaen Housham, The Guardian * Beautifully written, evocative and deft * Sunday Times * If I had not myself witnessed the lengths to which regimes such as Hoxha's are prepared to go to cheat and deceive, I should have been inclined to dismiss Shapallo's story as fanciful, and Jones as naive for believing it * A. M. Daniels, Times Literary Supplement * Seductively realistic * Independent on Sunday * Extraordinarily haunting * Daily Telegraph *

When Biografi was first published, it was met first with enormous critical acclaim - only to become the centre of a heated controversy. Was it fact or fiction? Had Lloyd Jones concocted his story of life in the new Albania? Or was it travel literature as its publishers insisted? Equal parts travelogue, political reportage and bizarre mystery novel, Lloyd Jones crosses Albania as it reinvents itself - a volatile, surreal wonderland where nothing is quite as it seems.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
