The amnesia clinic

Anti, a quiet English boy living in Quito, Ecuador, strikes up a friendship with flamboyant classmate Fabian, who is everything Anti isn't: handsome, athletic and popular. What's more, he lives with his rakish Uncle Suarez, while Anti is stuck in the dull ex-pat world inhabited by his parents. Suarez, a storyteller par excellence, infects the boys with his passion for outlandish tales, and before long their relationship becomes one conducted entirely through the medium of storytelling. One subject, however, is taboo: Fabian's parents.

  • "Best friends and teen classmates at the Quito International School, asthmatic ex-pat's son Anti and flamboyantly charismatic Fabián emulate Fabián's uncle's penchant for outlandish storytelling, an activity that escalates until they have trouble discerning fiction from reality."
  • "Anti and Fabian are best friends and classmates at the Quito International School. Anti (short for Anthony) is the quiet, asthmatic English kid, and Fabian is the charismatic and flamboyant local. Anti lives in the dull ex-pat world inhabited by his parents, while Fabian lives with his cool, eccentric Uncle Suarez. Suarez, a storyteller par excellence, infects the boys with his passion for outlandish tales. Before long, the relationship between these two fifteen-year-olds becomes one conducted entirely through the medium of storytelling, and they lose sight of the boundaries between fact and fiction. With confused emotions and a tenuous grip on reality, the boys embark on a quixotic voyage across Ecuador in search of an "Amnesia Clinic" that may or may not exist. A complex and beautifully crafted piece of storytelling about storytelling itself, The Amnesia Clinic explores how truth can be so very much fanciful that fact, and how the collision between fantasy and reality can lead to harmful delusions."
