All people are liars

A brief about the book A poor devil, a صاحب with a troubled childhood, an literary genius and an irresistible seducer, an ordinary man disguised as a hero, a person who adopts simple and honest traits... which of these faces is the true face of Alejandro Bipelacua? Between Argentina and Cuba, and Spain and France, a French journalist tries to uncover the truth about this man in a world dominated by tight lies, relying on testimonies from a few who knew him: his last beloved, his former cellmate, his bitter rival, and even the writer Alberto Manguel himself, but these testimonies are contradictory and unreliable. Between the exciting lines of this novel, the reader must discover the truth.
