Wonderland - Hanna Nordenhök - diskuze

From the author of Caesaria comes Wonderland, a spellbinding study of the many faces of deception. A novel that, with clear prose, depicts a chameleon-like existence where truth and lies are never easily separated. It follows three different characters, wandering an ominous contemporary world saturated with abandonment and false mirrors. On the Pacific Coast, a homeless woman travels between cities and towns pretending to be a child. At a hotel in Athens, two rival Catalan journalists become entangled in a risky game of fact and fiction. And in a luxury villa in Southern Sweden, a housewife chooses to lie at the expense of others in order to maintain the only life she can tolerate living. Around them appears a hall of mirrors inhabited by a range of unreliable characters: bluffing children, doped up martial artists, ghostwriters, dishonest politicians, ecocriminals,and fashionable jetsetters so disfigured by plastic surgery that there seems to be nothing left of their original selves. All of them individuals trying to find their way in that slippery world of post-truth that we've gotten to know as our own.
