The Book of Chameleons
Set in contemporary Angola, The Book of Chameleons is populated with characters whose stories never quite settle. It is some pages in before you realise that the narrator – rather charming, witty as he is – a lizard, living on Felix Ventura`s living room wall. Felix trades in an usual commodity – he sells pasts. If you don`t like yours, he can come up with an entirely new one for you, full of better memories and with a complete lineage. This is a book about the landscape of memory, its inconsistencies and its randomness.
