Leviatán

It all begins with an anonymous death: on a Wisconsin highway, one day in 1990, a man explodes a bomb in his hand and he blows up into a thousand pieces. But someone knows who he was, and with the FBI on his heels, Peter Aaron decides to tell his story, give his version of the events and the character, before the official story and mythologies forever establish his falsehoods or half-truths as the truth. And so Peter Aaron will write "Leviathan", the biography of Benjamin Sachs, the dead man, also a writer and conscientious objector imprisoned during the Vietnam War, disappeared since 1986, author of a youth novel that briefly turned him into a writer of cultured, perhaps a murderer, and anguished agonist of a contemporary dilemma: Literature or political commitment? Reality or fiction?
