Biografi by Lloyd Jones

Biografi by Lloyd Jones

Acclaimed novelist Lloyd Jones takes readers on a haunting and mesmerizing journey into the heart of post-communist Albania in Biografi. Driven by a quest to piece together the life of the country's enigmatic and iron-fisted former dictator, Enver Hoxha, Jones quickly discovers that truth itself is a fugitive in a land shaped by decades of secrecy, myth-making, and totalitarian control. As he navigates a landscape of elusive encounters and carefully constructed realities—searching perhaps even for Hoxha's rumored double—the pursuit of a definitive biography becomes a profound meditation on identity, memory, and the very nature of storytelling when history has been deliberately obscured. Biografi masterfully weaves threads of travel writing, investigative journalism, and poignant personal reflection into an unforgettable literary exploration.
