Disappearing

Autor Chris Heal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2019
You may assume that most of this book is fantasy, but the facts check out. You sense that the author has been there, from rock climbing to Van Gogh, from flamenco to the Biafran war, from begging in Winchester to travelling through the Sahara. Much of the story may be true. It could even mostly be true. Two parcels of fifty copies each of Disappearing were ordered to confidential addresses in London and Brussels. A file was compiled to aid a decision on whether to suppress publication, parts of which were leaked to the Daily Telegraph. Names of the individuals quoted have been redacted. No censorship was ordered. 'The book explains how an individual can divest themselves of identity, go off grid and use terrorist-supporting Hawala to move money. Heal’s success is a direct threat to our banking system and a danger to Western civilisation.' Senior Executive Officer, International Monetary Fund, Informal Funds Transfers 'Any story that quotes freely from Aeschylus, Ascherson, Bash¿, Bowles, Cervantes, Dostoevsky, Eliot, Herodotus, Kant, Larkin, Mandelstam, and a dozen more, must have something going for it.' Professor, Oxford University, attached to the Home Office 'He snipes at most aspects of European government. If what he says wasn’t so inherently dangerous, I would recommend ignoring this petulant book.' Senior Conservative politician, attached to National Counter Terrorism Security Office

Notă biografică

Chris Heal, a retired businessman, studied for a PhD at Bristol University when in his sixties. The result, 500 years of the Avon felt hat industry, received many awards and was reviewed as 'first-rate, well-written with immensely impressive scholarship'. His first book, Sound of Hunger, followed in 2018, an acclaimed social biography of the lives of two brothers, WW1 u-boat captains. The book joined German university reading lists for its unusual English view of German history. Heal then began an eclectic writing career including local and international history and adventure, palaeolithic art, social commentary and several collections of short stories.
