The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith

Meer over het boek

'My name is Tristan Smith. I was born in Chemin Rouge in Efica - which is to say as much to you, I bet, if I declared I was from the moon.' The Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda and The Tax Inspector now gives readers a hero, the malformed but ferociously willful Tristan Smith, who becomes the object of the world's byzantine political intrigues, even as he attains stardom in a bizarre Sirkus that is part passion play and part Mortal Kombat.
