Peter Shapello is a village dentist in Albania until one day he recieves a visit that changes his life - and an offer he can't refuse. He will become the double for Albania's Great Leader, Enver Hoxha, the man who stands in for him on official engagements. As the unnamed narrator of

is about the creation of new lives, apparitions and subversive histories. It is at once an adventure quest and a
tour de force
of imaginative writing - mysterious, shocking, poignant and sometimes grimly funny.
