Missing

For years Alberto Fuguet heard diffuse or elusive stories about the whereabouts of his uncle Carlos, who one day simply disappeared from the family environment. With the vague indication that he might be lost in the United States, his nephew, now a well-known writer, began an investigation in which he mixed facts and speculations, intuitions and memories. Missing, the book that records everything, is not so much a thriller, since the uncle appears soon and his voice takes over the novel, but a captivating autobiographical inquiry and an exploration into the human will to disappear, into the drifts of failure. A journey down the unpaved roads of the American dream. This edition includes an epilogue that tells the behind-the-scenes of the novel and a certain journalistic farce that surrounded his appearance.
