RaveSan Francisco Book Review\"Similar to Vonnegut in the telling of Slaughterhouse Five, Cercas writes this narrative in first person, bringing us along in the process step-by-step to give us the same internal turmoil that effects an author tasked with telling an ugly truth. By sharing this turmoil and challenging us to wrestle with our own falseness while we judge Marco’s, the reader has a chance to see beyond the surface. The author comes away a different man after writing the truth about an impostor and offers us the same chance.\
