James Earl Ray, after he murdered Doctor Martin Luther King, spent ten days on the run in Lisbon. Like A Fading Shadow by Antonio Muñoz Molina, translated by Camilo A. Ramirez, is an imaginative recreation of those days. It's also an unsparing portrait of its author in the early days of his writing career and a meditation on art, creativity and the process of writing.
