Scribe acquires novel by Sònia Hernández

Scribe has acquired world English language rights in The Man Who Thought He Was Vicente Rojo by Sònia Hernández, to be translated by Samuel Rutter.

Associate Publisher Marika Webb-Pullman describes it as ‘a bold and original work of a fiction from an author whose oeuvre proposes increasingly interesting and oblique approaches to literature. The plot involves an artist/journalist whose career has stalled, her 15-year-old daughter, and a man pretending to be a famous Mexican artist, Vicente Rojo. It's rooted in relationships that develop and deepen across the novel, in a sort of triangle between the three main characters, and also reflects on the nature of truth, reproduction, and authenticity, both in the visual arts and in literature.’

Sònia Hernández is a writer and journalist from Catalonia, Spain. She was named by Granta as one of the best Spanish-language authors under 35 (in 2010), and has published two collections of poetry, two short-story collections, and three novels.
