«El americano perfecto: Tras la pista de Walt Disney» is the novelised biography by Peter Stephan Jungk, published by Turner in paperback (204 pages).
The narrator, Austrian illustrator Wilhelm Dantine, obsessively follows the trail of Walt Disney, the man who hired and then fired him. The novel interweaves admiration and rejection with real episodes: the accusation against Chaplin, the cryopreservation myth, Nikita Khrushchev's visit and the utopian EPCOT project.
No. 117 in the Noema collection. Translated by Cristina Núñez Pereira. Philip Glass's opera 'The Perfect American' (2013) is based on the book. The book was shortlisted for the British Foreign Book Award in 2003.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in the figure of Walt Disney and in novelised biographies that probe his less amiable side.
