All His Names - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Billy Joe Callahan leaves rural Florida at nineteen, certain of one thing: he is going to become somebody else. A baseball scholarship gets him to Iowa. An injury takes it away. What's left is a gift for reading rooms, reading people, and becoming exactly whoever the next room requires.

Over five decades and across a country, he becomes Will, then Steven, then - after the FBI, after the money, after the wife and children he can't take with him - Thomas Burton, a man built entirely from paperwork and discipline. Each version is more convincing than the last. Each one costs someone something. And at the center of every reinvention is the same unanswered question: whether a man who has been so many people can ever simply be one of them, for good, with the people who loved him along the way.

All His Names is a sweeping, intimate novel about ambition, identity, and the particular loneliness of a man who mistook motion for progress - and what it costs, decades later, to finally sit still.
