New York, 25 years later: literary agent Peter Katz receives a manuscript. Or is it a confession?
Today: unearth the secrets of The Book of Mirrors and discover why your memory is the most dangerous weapon of all.
Inspired by false memories from his childhood and written in the author's second language, remarkably The Book of Mirrors nearly wasn't published at all. Having been rejected in the US, E O Chirovici took to the novel to a small UK publisher who advised him to try just one more time to get it to a wider readership. He did, and The Book of Mirrors was immediately signed by a literary agent, sparking a UK auction and world-wide rights sales.
About the author: Eugen O Chirovici had a career in mass-media, running a national daily newspaper and then a TV news channel. He has published over 1 000 articles in Romania and abroad. He currently holds three honorary doctorates (in Economics, Communication & History) and is a member of the Romanian Academy of Science. He is the recipient of several prizes for journalism. The Book of Mirrors is his first novel in English. He now lives in Brussels with his wife.
Rating: 5/5
