Description
These stories are all true, but only somewhere else. As early as he can remember, the hopelessly unreliable - yet hopelessly earnest - narrator of this remarkable 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 it is a profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards is a warm, witty, and inventive literary tour de force that heralds Jan

- reviews
- premium: False
- source: Darin Strauss, author of More Than It Hurts You
- content: "The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards is my new exhibit A for the defense of literary fiction. A great read - a must read. Kristopher Jasma is more than the real-deal. He's made himself, with this book, essential."
- premium: True
- source:
- content: Edoardo Ballerini's performance of this exhilarating novel may be a personal best for him, and that's saying a lot. The text is an unreliable narrative by an unnamed writer who is either telling you his own story or letting you read his fictions; you rarely know which for sure, and you sometimes can't tell if he knows himself. The relationships of fiction to lying and to truth are obviously the subject here. So are young love, artistic rivalry, friendship, literary homage, fame, and the process of writing. Hardest to describe is how utterly satisfying, in the most old-fashioned way, these bravura-pleated stories-within-stories are, and how smoothly Ballerini inhabits Jansma's continuously transforming characters. Surely this entrancing book and impeccable production will rank among the year's best. B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
