{"product_id":"my-life-as-a-fake-peter-carey-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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Carey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400030889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400030880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.24w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2005 pg. 20","brand":"Peter Carey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986040324351,"sku":"9781400030880","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f5c1184-c5f4-46e9-ba1e-f3194100972c.jpg?v=1683280999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-life-as-a-fake-peter-carey-9781400030880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
