When Biografi was first published, it was met first with enormous critical acclaim -- only to become the centre of a heated controversy. Was it fact or fiction? Had Lloyd Jones concocted his story of life in the new Albania? Or was it travel literature as its publishers insisted? Equal parts travelogue, political reportage and bizarre mystery novel, Lloyd Jones crosses Albania as it reinvents itself - a volatile, surreal wonderland where nothing is quite as it seems. Inspired by his real-life journey across Albania, Lloyd Jones has stitched together a compelling story about the very nature of identity.
