«El impostor» is the nonfiction novel by Javier Cercas, published by Random House in hardcover (432 pages, in Spanish).
The book reconstructs the real case of Enric Marco, a Barcelona man who for years pretended to have been deported to a Nazi camp and even came to preside over the Spanish association of survivors until the deception was discovered in 2005. From that story, Javier Cercas explores the construction of identity, self-deception, and certain dark areas of Spanish historical memory.
The first edition was published on November 13, 2014. The work won the Premio San Clemente and was longlisted for the International Booker Prize.
A work suitable for readers of narrative nonfiction, contemporary Spanish history, and stories about great real-life deceptions.
