Somewhere between fiction and documentary, this book reconstructs the entirety of this suspenseful case through a multi-voiced narrative that also explores the deeper questions behind the case: How could such a thing happen? How does a copy become an original? What is the nature of contemporary art? It not only reveals the complex reasons behind the loss of the sculpture, but also vividly illustrates the multifaceted lives and inner worlds of the seventy people involved, each of whom, as an individual slice, constitutes an integral part of Spain's social landscape, exposing the country's deep-rooted social problems and the chaotic nature of the art industry.
