The Impostor is the true story of a man who was the president of the association of Spanish survivors of concentration camps called Amical Mathausen based in Barcelona. He was widely recognized. Some years ago, a historian exposed his lies and deceit: he had never been a prisoner at Mathausen and his stories were full of lies. After reading about 100 pages, I couldn‘t continue because of the disdain that I felt about the impostor.

Mehso-so

Enric Marco was a man, claiming that he is survivor of the concentration camp Flossenbürg. Well, he wasn‘t ... he was liar seeking the spotlight. His real life story, real personality are the driving force of this ‘novel without fiction‘. The story is interesting, providing a glimpse into recent Spanish history, intertwine with philosophical themes and author‘s personal struggles as a writer, but I didn‘t like very repetitive writing style⭐️⭐️⭐️

From my current read ... I know it doesn't sound like something beautiful, but this is painfully powerful quote from a story about impostor - which was a real life person https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enric_Marco
