{"product_id":"my-life-as-a-fake-9781400030880","title":"My Life as a Fake","description":"Fiendishly devious and addictively readable, Peter Carey's \u003cb\u003eMy Life as a Fake\u003c\/b\u003e is a moral labyrinth constructed around the uneasy relationship between literature and lying. In steamy, fetid Kuala Lumpur in 1972, Sarah Wode-Douglass, the editor of a London poetry journal, meets a mysterious Australian named Christopher Chubb. Chubb is a despised literary hoaxer, carting around a manuscript likely filled with deceit. But in this dubious manuscript Sarah recognizes a work of real genius. But whose genius? As Sarah tries to secure the manuscript, Chubb draws her into a fantastic story of imposture, murder, kidnapping, and exile-a story that couldn't be true unless its teller were mad. \u003cb\u003eMy Life as a Fake\u003c\/b\u003e is Carey at his most audacious and entertaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Carey received the Booker Prize for \u003cb\u003eOscar\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eand Lucinda\u003c\/b\u003e, and again for \u003cb\u003eTrue History of the Kelly Gang\u003c\/b\u003e.
