Who Was by Alex Quel by Peter Boyle and MTC Cronin 

This book – Who Was by Alex Quel – has the feel of a hoax, of an elaborate joke.

There’s a clue inside, and it is the name of Borges and I am reminded of the pseudonym Borges shared with his best friend Adolfo Bioy Casares to satirise society.

This book goes beyond the preliminary, layering the background, lulling the mind to accept the unreal as real.

There’s something about this collaboration that is about literary invention, of messing at the boundary between fiction and reality.
