What do You think about Biografi: A Traveler's Tale (1994)?
A bizarre and fascinating mix of fact and fiction. I only picked this up because I read Mister Pip and figured it would be an obvious next step in my relationship with Mr. Jones. I'm not sure what motivates one to write about traveling to Albania in the early 1990s. Neither does Mr. Jones, obviously, who supplements his travelogue with the story of Petar Shapallo, a dentist forced to spend his life as a body double for Communist leader Enver Hoxha. The result is an indistinguishable blend of reality and fantasy that would set Oprah on the warpath.
