From the international bestselling author of<br />
The Dictionary of Imaginary Places, a<br />
shapeshifting literary mystery.<br />
In this gorgeously wrought and imagined novel, an investigative<br />
journalist inter<strong>view</strong>s those who knew—or thought they knew—Alejandro<br />
Bevilacqua, a brilliant South American writer and author of the masterpiece<br />
In Praise of Lying. Through the diverse voices of those close to Bevilacqua<br />
and their divergent portraits of the man at the center of this literary<br />
examination of truth, the reader holds the power of final judgment. In<br />
All Men Are Liars, Alberto Manguel pays homage to literature’s revolving<br />
inventions, in which our own ideas of the world and the people around<br />
us are given agency and projected onto these virtuoso pages.<br />
“Clever, witty and entertaining.” —The Times (UK)<br />
“If Paul Auster...wore a friendly beard and had more of a Latin<br />
temperament, he might produce something like this richly hued,<br />
melancholy and funny puzzle of a novel.” —The Guardian (UK)<br />
“Richly textured, ingeniously constructed.” —The Spectator (UK)<br />
“This playful,ingenious, but finally tragic novel invites us, in the finest<br />
Manguel manner, into a labyrinth of rival narratives with an all-too-real<br />
monster at its heart.” —The Independent (UK)<br />
