Fiction
From as early as he can remember, the hopelessly
unreliable—yet hopelessly earnest—narrator of this ambitious
debut novel has wanted to become a writer.
From
the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka,
Kristopher Jansma’s irresistible narrator will be inspired
and haunted by the success of his greatest friend and rival
in writing, the eccentric and brilliantly talented Julian
McGann, and endlessly enamored with Julian’s enchanting
friend, Evelyn, the green-eyed girl who got away. After the
trio has a disastrous falling out, desperate to tell the
truth in his writing and to figure out who he really is,
Jansma’s narrator finds himself caught in a never-ending web
of lies.
As much a story about a young man and
his friends trying to make their way in the world as a
profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and
storytelling, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will
appeal to readers of Tom Rachman’s The
Imperfectionists and Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer
Prize–winning A Visit from the Goon Squad with its
elegantly constructed exploration of the stories we tell to
find out who we really are.
