El Universal, March 4, 2014 (Memorial del engaño was actually written by Jorge Volpi. It is an autobiography of the fictional character, J. Volpi. The translator does not exist, nor does the original English work, Deceit, mentioned on the title page verso. Photos included are of Jorge Volpi or are faked. Fake reviews and YouTube interview were also created. The book itself gives no information about the actual author's identity. Nor is there any clue that this is anything but the autobiography of a real person)
