At Night We Walk in Circles A Novel簡介，目錄書摘
The breakout book from a prizewinning young writer： a “surrealistic tour de force” (O， The Oprah Magazine) about one man’s obsessive search to find the truth of another man’s downfall.
Nelson’s life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man; his brother has left their South American country， leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother; and his acting career can’t seem to get off the ground. That is， until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President， a legendary play by Nelson’s hero， Henry Nu?ez， leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that’s when the real trouble begins.
Nelson’s fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator， a young man obsessed with Nelson’s story—and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp， vivid， and beautiful prose， Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate， identity， and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.
