922 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

He was born the same night the Beatles worked past midnight recording "Drive My Car." He never really left.

Paco is two years old, sitting on the floor of a Grand Rapids basement, absorbing Sgt. Pepper like scripture, and somehow he already knows how the whole story ends. Decades later, that certainty becomes something else: mania, hospitalization, a love he can't have, a conversion he doesn't expect, and two and a half years living on the streets of a Michigan winter with nothing but a library card and a homeless shelter cot between him and the cold.

922 is a raw, funny, and often unbearably honest account of a mind that never stops connecting dots, between the British Invasion and a broken childhood, between faith and psychosis, between a 19-year-old's kindness and a 37-year-old's ruin. And when Paco finally surfaces on the other side, he turns that same pattern-hunting mind toward the biggest mystery of his life's soundtrack: the decades-old rumor that Paul McCartney died in 1966, and the numerology trail he believes connects it straight to John Lennon's murder.

Part coming-of-age memoirish fiction, part fever-dream cultural history, part testimony, 922 is for readers who've ever needed the universe to mean something, and were willing to go a little mad chasing the proof.

The author states plainly: "The book is fiction, but it happened."
