Synopsis "Numero dos (in Spanish)"

En 1999 arrancaba el casting destinado a encontrar al joven que interpretaría a Harry Potter. Al final solo quedaron dos actores, y Daniel Radcliffe fue elegido porque tenía «ese pequeño toque de más».
Foenkinos empatizó con ese otro niño, y lo tomó como punto de partida de una novela que cuenta la historia del número dos. Tras no ser escogido, Martin Hill se encierra en sí mismo y cae en sucesivos estados de depresión cada vez que sale una nueva entrega de los libros o películas. Poco a poco, su vida empieza a parecerse cada vez más a la del personaje de ficción maltratado por sus padres, en lugar de vivir la cómoda vida del archiconocido actor. ¿Será posible sobreponerse a esa gran mancha en su
destino? ¿Podrá, como J. K. Rowling, hacer del fracaso una fuerza?

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
