From one of the most original and irreverent authors of his generation, Albert Pijuan, comes 'The Great Replacement', a wacky novel that reflects on identity. In an exclusive Croatian clinic, Dino waits to undergo plastic surgery, without being very clear about what the intervention will consist of. Meanwhile, to kill time, the young man narrates to the patient in the next bed the incredible succession of events that have led him there: a story of unrecognized paternities, plagiarized articles and identity usurpations through which he travels together with subjects as improbable as a well-known Hollywood producer, the stars of italo disco or the members of a sect that intends to predict the future through the hairstyles of Nicolas Cage, whom Dino idolizes. A seemingly delirious story that advances - from Sabadell to Los Angeles, passing through Croatia and Naples - with overwhelming logic. Wacky to the absurd, while at the same time of enormous clarity in its look at our present, the new work by Albert Pijuan confirms him as one of the most original and accurate authors on the current literary scene. With a very sharp sense of humor, 'The Great Replacement' reflects on the distance between what we want to be and what we are, identity and doubles, the weight of family and strange contemporary idolatries. An incisive, ambitious and hilarious novel.
