Phantom Book

About This Novel

Everyone thought he was dead. The comedy genius Hector Mann was a dazzling rising star in Hollywood in the 1920s, but he suddenly ran away from home one day and was never heard from again. For sixty years, his mysterious disappearance has remained a mystery. Literature professor David Zimmer lost his wife and children in a plane crash, and fell into a quagmire of sadness and depression, unable to extricate himself until he accidentally discovered a fragment of an old Hector movie. Across a huge abyss of forgetfulness, the fate of the two people is closely linked. In order to watch all the existing Hector films, Zimmer traveled around the world to search archives in Europe and the United States. He was deeply impressed by Hector's elegant and witty works and enjoyed them. However, just after Zimmer's monograph on Hector's films was published, he received a letter from the town of Sueno, New Mexico, stating that Hector was still alive and looking forward to meeting him. While Zimmer was hesitating, a mysterious woman suddenly appeared in his secluded cabin, and eventually forced him to embark on a phantom journey full of fog and danger... "A novel that is constantly unexpected", "Phantom Book" tells the story of death within death, stories within stories, about loss, silence and self-salvation: "You have to die first before you can know how to live."
