Description
[Machine Translation] The narrator is a lone gecko. He lives in the house of Felix Ventura in Luanda, the capital of Angola, and observes his life. Felix is in the business of remaking people's "pasts". After years of violent civil war, Angola is experiencing the emergence of a new wealthy class, but all they seem to have is their venerable ancestry. Felix makes a living creating new family trees and "pasts" for them using false photos and documents. One day, Felix is visited by an unidentified foreigner. The mustachioed, old-fashioned man asks Felix to "rewrite his name, his past, everything," and offers him a large sum of money. Felix is torn, but in the end, everything is perfect, including his new name, Jose Buchmann. Buchman is overjoyed, and from then on, he visits him frequently... Winner of the 2007 Independent Award for Foreign Language Literature.
