The breakout novel from a prizewinning young writer: a surrealistic tour de force (O, The Oprah Magazine) about one man s obsessive search to find the truth of another man s downfall.

Nelson s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man; his brother has left their South American country, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother; and his acting career can t seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President, a legendary play by Nelson s hero, Henry Nuñez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that s when the real trouble begins.

Nelson s fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson s story and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.
