That is the question tackled by the investigation of a French journalist who endeavours to shed light on the enigma of an unexplained death: that of the Argentinian writer Alejandro Bevilacqua, found lying on the pavement underneath his balcony in Madrid in the mid-1970s. The few accounts of those who knew him &#8211; which include those of his last lover, a former fellow prison inmate, a sworn enemy and even the author Alberto Manguel himself &#8211; are contradictory and unreliable. Poor devil with a troubled childhood, literary genius and irresistible seducer, ordinary man masquerading as hero, pure and simple impostor &#8211; these are but a few facets of a mysterious figure in this tribute to falsehood. Between the lines, the reader must discover the only worthwhile truth: the fascinating homage Alberto Manguel pays to literature and its shape-shifting creations, which give infinite expressions to the objects of our desires.<\/p>\n<p>Book Review: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2010\/sep\/18\/all-men-are-liars-alberto-manguel\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2010\/sep\/18\/all-men-are-liars-alberto-manguel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/terms-and-conditions\/#turn-books-condition-rating-scale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Condition &#8211; Good (4\/5)<\/strong><\/a><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/terms-and-conditions\/#turn-books-condition-rating-scale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8994\" src=\"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/4_star.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"31\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12565,"template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[378,71],"product_tag":[623],"class_list":{"0":"post-12703","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fiction","7":"product_cat-literature","8":"product_tag-european-literature","9":"pa_book-author-alberto-manguel","10":"pa_publisher-alma-books","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12703"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/turn-books.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
