Mister Gwyn, by: Alessandro Barico

When a successful writer decides to get rid of all hypocrisy in the literary world, the list of things he should not do may be very long. Jasper Gwyn no longer wants to pretend, and to end the literary character farce; he published in his last column in The Guardian newspaper that he will not write any more books. But Mr. Gwyn is an excellent writer, and as a result he will have to find a way to write without breaking his promise. He is searching for his origin in literature and delves into a unique obsession that is almost magical, thanks to the imagination of Alessandro Barico. Number of pages 199
