Rich in South American colour, this cleverly crafted novel deals
with storytelling itself - the motivations for spinning a yarn and the
consequences of taking a tale too far
Anti, a quiet English boy living in Quito, Ecuador, strikes up a
friendship with flamboyant classmate Fabián, who is everything Anti
isn't: handsome, athletic and popular. What's more, he lives with his
rakish Uncle Suarez, while Anti is stuck in the dull ex-pat world
inhabited by his parents.
Suarez, a storyteller par excellence,
infects the boys with his passion for outlandish tales, and before long
their relationship becomes one conducted entirely through the medium of
storytelling. One subject, however, is taboo: Fabián's parents. But when
details surrounding their disappearance begin to emerge, Anti decides
to console his friend with a story suggesting that Fabián's mother may
be living at a bizarre hospital on the coast for patients with memory
loss. With confused emotions and reality losing its tenuous grip, the
boys embark on a quixotic voyage across Ecuador in search of an 'Amnesia
Clinic' that may, or may not exist.
