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","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44083919126573,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_a45730b7-55e4-483c-905b-d570fe257e30.jpg?v=1765268257","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/my-life-as-a-fake","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
