What is Número dos about?
In 1999, hundreds of young people auditioned to play Harry Potter. Of the two candidates who made it to the finals, Daniel Radcliffe was chosen for having, according to the casting director, "that something extra." Upon reading these statements, David Foenkinos immediately empathized with the boy who lacked that extra touch: number two. This novel tells his story. The life of Martin Hill, a boy with divorced parents and round black glasses, takes a turn when he happens to visit the London production company where his father works on the same day that David Heyman drops by, immersed in the search for the actor to play the little wizard. After being rejected, Martin falls into successive depressions with each new release of the books and films. Everything around him reminds him of his rival's success, and little by little, instead of enjoying Radcliffe's life, his own begins to resemble that of the tormented fictional character. Will he be able to overcome this stain on his destiny and turn failure into strength?
