The Lost Book Of Adana Moreau: A Novel

"Books within books: That’s the main motif of Michael Zapata’s debut novel, The Lost Book of Adana Moreau. Ping-ponging through time, between cultures and across geography, the book traces the fictional life of a forgotten author named Adana Moreau whose work has nonetheless reverberated – and sparks a life-changing mystery for a man named Saul Drower who has his own links to lost works of literature. Where does one story end and another begin? Lost Book poses this heady question, and in unpacking his answer, Zapata illuminates the reality-inventing power of storytelling itself."
