Description

Anatol Stiller, a renowned white-collar criminal, has seemingly vanished, leaving behind a life of privilege and a wife he no longer loves. When a man resembling him is apprehended at the Swiss border, the authorities become convinced he is Stiller, despite his vehement denials. Through a series of interrogations and flashbacks, the narrative unravels Stiller's complex past, his desperate attempts to escape his identity, and the intricate web of relationships he left behind. This novel masterfully explores themes of identity, guilt, and the elusive nature of truth, questioning whether one can truly outrun who they are.
