| Meer info | Two stories placed in front of each other like mirrors: The first is set in first-century Rome and relates the rise and fall of Mazuf, a homosexual Syrian scribe who becomes a renowned man of letters and a murderer. The second is a confession by a present-day American named Laurence; it seems to be simply a record of his sexual exploits during his student days at Harvard, but we soon find out there is much more to his tale than first appears. Laurence, a disaffected and sophisticated narrator, is a murderer too. But what is the connection between the two men? Is the key an old copy of Edward Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'? And can stories change, not only the future, but more compellingly, the past? In a playfulloy unsettling and wonderfully sensual novel, prize-winning author José Luis de Juan explores the secret history of desire and the dark desire to make history. |
