Synopsis "Número dos (in Catalan)"

El 1999 començava el càsting per trobar el noi que interpretaria la pel·lícula Harry Potter. Centenars d?actors van fer les proves. Finalment, en van quedar dos. Aquesta és la història del que no va ser escollit. Martin Hill, que ha de créixer a l?ombra del triomf omnipresent del seu rival, Daniel Radcliffe, i sobreposar-se al fracàs.Una fantasia melancòlica que copsa amb exactitud i lleugeresa el desassossec d?un noi constantment confrontat a allò que hauria pogut viure.

El noi que hauria pogut ser Harry Potter: una novel·la insòlita i divertida sobre l?èxit i el fracàs.

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.
