From the supplier: Felipe Alfau's novel 'Locos: A Comedy of Gestures' is a series of metaphysical detective stories that seek to define and capture human identity and yet usually fail. The stories seem to correlate identity with physical evidence and documentation and then undermine those proofs by having one faked and the other stolen. Human identity never becomes sure or concrete in the novel, always maintaining a battle with anonymity and oblivion.
