A brilliantly original rags-to-riches tale, reminiscent of City of God, by the award-winning author of The Amnesia Clinic.;;Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
As a child Ludo is plucked out of the shantytown where he was born and transported to a world of languid, cosseted luxury. Now twenty-seven, he works high above the above the sprawling metropolis of S o Paulo for a vacuous ‘communications company’. But this is not his world, and this is not a simple rags-to-riches story- Ludo’s destiny moves him around like a chess piece, showing him both extremities of opulent excess and abject poverty, taking him to the brink of madness and brutality.
By the author of The Amnesia Clinic and winner of the Somerset Maugham Award.
