«El intocable» is the contemporary novel by John Banville, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Victor Maskell, a homosexual art historian, was curator of the English queen's collection and a Russian mole for decades. Exposed as a traitor before the House of Commons, the old man writes his memoirs as one restores a painting: stripping away layers of grime, varnish and lies until he finds the figure that most resembles the truth.
Number 417 of the Panorama de narrativas collection. Translation by Juan Antonio Molina Foix. First edition published in Barcelona in May 1999.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in espionage, identity and truth.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
