What is Kensington Gardens: A Novel about?

\"A children's writer unreels a shocking confession in Rodrigo Fresan's English-language debut. Known to millions by his pen name, Peter Hook, Fresan's hero has survived the death of his rock-star parents, and a childhood surrounded by 1960s excess, to become the most successful children's author of his generation, best loved as the creator of the time-traveling boy Jim Yang. Over the course of one night, Peter tells his life story - and that of J. M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan - to the child actor cursed with playing Jim Yang in the movies. Gradually, a bizarre and terrible tale emerges, a tale of shadow identities and suicide, lost boys and foundlings. Moving between the Edwardian age and Swinging London, Kensington Gardens is an exploration of the charms and perils of children's literature and nostalgia.\"--BOOK JACKET, \"Originally published in 2004 by Sudamericana, Spain, as Jardines de Kensington. English translation originally published in 2005 by Faber and Faber Ltd., Great Britain\"--T.p. verso
