In the autumn of 2005, Santiago Boroní and Dana Serfati, historians and friends, meet at a conference in Tel Aviv. Psychologically unstable due to a recent tragedy, Santiago begins to speak in a forgotten language and claims to be called Jamaica, a name that remains a mystery until Dana discovers it in an ancient document. Is it possible that Santiago is not as crazy as he seems? Could the keys to his delirium be hidden in that writing? Set in Israel, Paris, and Granada, and jumping between the 17th century and the present, 'My Name is Jamaica' is a moving and hallucinatory journey to the heart of our history. The characters will experience the love, madness, and violence of our times, and will immerse themselves in the story of a dark episode of the conquest of America, starring a hero of another time who embodies the history of an oppressed people, that of a family marked by tragedy, and that of a madman of today with brilliant lucidity. José Manuel Fajardo displays his ability to recreate the past through fiction in this frantic adventure novel.
