Full description for The Amnesia Clinic
Anti and Fabian are best friends and classmates at the Quito International School. Anti (short for Anthony) is the quiet, asthmatic English kid, and Fabian is the char-ismatic and flamboyant local. Anti lives in the dull ex-pat world inhabited by his parents, while Fabian lives with his cool, eccentric Uncle Suarez. Suarez, a storyteller par excel-lence, infects the boys with his passion for outlandish tales. Before long, the relationship between these two fifteen-year-olds becomes one conducted entirely through the medium of storytelling, and they lose sight of the boundaries between fact and fiction.
