The Fugitive

I read this book on a recent plane trip and found it to be a fascinating examination of the author's years in exile and jail time for a crime he did not commit. Contrary to another reviewer's opinion, I did not find the book to be jumbled or disorganized. The author begins the story with his betrayal by a hired lawyer who was supposed to help him start immigration proceedings in Mexico, where he was then living. The book is not meant to be a chronological approach, but rather deals with the psychological and emotional issues around exile and the Kafka-esque experience of the Italian judicial system of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The other review is correct in that the book is quite short.
