Reseña del libro "False Prophet (en Inglés)"

The cult drama of The Girls meets Yellowface’s searing exploration of lies, immigration, and identity in this propulsive literary thriller debut.

A grieving actor-turned-memoirist reimagines his mother’s encounter with Jonestown’s Jim Jones—except it’s mostly all lies . . .

A propulsive debut that follows a grieving actor reimagining his mother’s run-in with Jim Jones, the deadliest cult leader of all time–the only problem is, it’s mostly all lies...

Actor Jal Persad is enjoying moderate “where do I know you from?” success when the death of his mother, Rita, sends him into a tailspin he hadn’t seen coming—after all, how could he grieve a woman he barely knew? Rita had grown up in Guyana during the rise and fall of the Jonestown cult, but never spoke of her home to Jal, always keeping him at a distance.

After months of avoiding work, a misunderstanding at lunch with his manager leads Jal into a web of lies. He soon finds himself writing a memoir of his mother’s adolescence, one that places her in direct contact with Jim Jones himself. There’s just one issue–Rita never met the man, and Jal knows that. Suddenly, the book goes viral, and Jal must face the looming threat of exposure, and his own guilt.

Alternating between Jal’s rapid rise and Rita’s distorted story, False Prophet confronts the intergenerational legacy of colonialism, the allure of power, and the age-old question–how much of yourself are you willing to lose to succeed?
