His illegal self ( Editura: Outlet - carte limba engleza, Autor: Peter Carey ISBN 978-0-571-23153-9 )

When the boy was almost eight a woman stepped out of the elevator into the apartment on East Sixty-second street and he recognized  her straight away.

His illegal self is the story of Che - raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother, he is the precocious son of radical student activist at Harvard in the late sixties. Yearning for his famous outlaw parents, denied all access to television and the news, he takes hope from his long-haired, teenage neighbour who predicts: They will come for you, man. They ' ll break you out of here.

Soon Che is an outlaw: fleeing down subways, abandoning seedy motels at night, he is pitched into a journey that leads him to a hippy commune in the jungle of tropical Queensland. Here he slowly, bravely, confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems. Who is his real Mother? Was that his real father? if all he suspects is true, what should he do?
