Anonymous Ignacio Solares

A man wakes up in someone else's body and then struggles to figure out what has happened. What happened to his former body, wife, and life? Who was the man whose body he is now in? Can he just fit in to a new family and life, or can he get his old life back? Is this all just a bad dream?

Another man receives a series of threatening notes at work ("Watch Out!") and then struggles to make sense of the situation and his life. He discovers that others at his office receive identical notes, and panic ensues. Can he and his colleagues puzzle it out? Should they flee or can they fight back?

The stories of these two men intertwine in Anonymous. Their lives come together in a completely unexpected way. Rich scenes populate the novel--many of them highly ironic, others deeply poignant.

Ignacio Solares published the original Spanish version of Anonymous in 1979. It has enjoyed numerous editions and boasts sales of over one hundred thousand copies. It is one of eighteen Mexican novels recently placed in every high school library in the country.
