One-Way by Didier van Cauwelaert
An uprooted, undocumented young man with no known past is given a fabricated identity and sent on a one-way trip to a homeland he has never known; accompanied by a bureaucrat whose own certainties unravel, their misadventures and encounters turn into a bittersweet, often comic exploration of identity, belonging, reinvention and the ways stories and lies can become the raw material of a life.
