The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards: A Novel (ALA Notable Books for Adults)

"F. Scott Fitzgerald meets Wes Anderson" (The Village Voice) in this inventive and witty debut about a young manâ€™s quest to become a writer and the misadventures in life and love that take him around the globeâ€”from the author of Why We Came to the City

As early as he can remember, the narrator of this remarkable novel has wanted to become a writer. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka, Kristopher Jansmaâ€™s hopelessly unreliableâ€”yet hopelessly earnestâ€”narrator will be haunted by the success of his greatest friend and literary rival, the brilliant Julian McGann, and endlessly enamored with Evelyn, the green-eyed girl who got away. A profound exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling, this delightful picaresque tale heralds Jansma as a bold, new American voice.
