Publisher's Summary: Two-time Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey, author of True History of the Kelly Gang, shows again why he is one of the most acclaimed writers in the world with this ambitious novel. My Life as a Fake is his brilliantly fictionalized spin on the greatest literary hoax in Australia's colorful history.In the 1950s poet Christopher Chubb composes a body of sexually charged poems. Chubb then dupes a trendy literary magazine into believing the poems were composed by the late Bob McCorkle, an undiscovered genius. But the trick backfires, and soon Chubb finds himself tormented by the very monster he creates. Decades later, a literary editor named Sarah Wode-Douglass begins peeling back the layers of the Chubb mystery in, of all places, Malaysia, where the reclusive poet remains in hiding. With its breathtaking scope and limitless inventiveness, My Life as a Fake is a triumph of the imagination. Carey's masterful tale receives a sparkling narration by Susan Lyons, who provides authentic and compelling voices for the full cast of vivid characters. |
