An Englishman on his father's side, an Indian on his mother's side, the hero of this book is forced to reincarnate, becoming what others want to see in him. In India he is an untouchable boy, in England he is a young aristocrat. Changing masks, he suddenly realizes that he no longer has his own face. This realistic novel, written in a dry and measured language, draws you in like a funnel, and ultimately takes the reader to the boundaries of reality, to the metaphysical horror of emptiness. Hari Kunzru, an English writer of Indian origin, despite his youth, has already entered the circle of the best writers of the Old World. The novel “Face Off” was recognized in England as the best literary debut of 2002.
