Description
How far can we go to hide the truth about ourselves and uncover the secrets of others? In the mid-nineties, writer Emilio Renzi leaves his chaotic life in Argentina and takes a position as a visiting professor at a prestigious university in New Jersey. Here, he grows close to his colleague, the intelligent and attractive Ida Brown. However, their secret relationship is unpredictably cut short by a seemingly unfortunate accident that results in Ida's death. The police begin to investigate her death, but when the case is later closed as an accident, Emilio decides to take the search into his own hands. His attention is soon drawn to reports of attacks on university professors across the United States. The deeper Emilio delves into Ida's past, the more urgently he desires to uncover the truth: Was her death part of some plan? And if so, was Ida merely a victim, or also an accomplice? Ricardo Piglia masterfully intertwines a multi-layered novel full of literary references with a detective story in his latest work.
