Ingenious, consistently taut and witty TLS Humorous and quizzical, with a light touch on weighty themes, the narrative darts about with lizard-like colour and velocity Independent Strange, elliptical, charming Guardian A poetic, beguiling meditation on truth and storytelling . . . from the dreamscapes of magical realism to a gripping political thriller and even a murder mystery New Internationalist Félix Ventura trades in memories, a slippery character selling new pasts to people whose bright futures lack only a good lineage, and wiping clean the slate of their identity.
