Started reading The Confabulist by Steven Galloway last night. This is his first book since the brilliant Cellist of Sarajevo. It's a very interesting book that involves alternate narratives of Houdini's life and a first person narrative of a person who claims to have killed Houdini with a punch to the stomach. The second narrator jumps back and forth from Houdini's time to the present day where he suffers from an odd disorder that causes him to develop memories that didn't really happen.
I'm half way through and loving it.
