Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 280 pages. Dj chippedMY LIFE AS A FAKE is a fantastical gothi c tale, in part inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, about a hoax poet who mysteriously materialises and then pursues, taunts, haunts and otherwise destroys his maker. Two-time Booker prize w inning author Peter Carey uses the Ern Malley hoax as a springboa rd, but the leap he takes is into the realms of richly imagined f iction. Sara, an English poetry editor on holiday in Kuala Lumpur , stumbles upon an Australian, Christopher Chubb, reading Rilke i n a bicycle shop. The man shows her a scrap of poetry the like of which she's never seen. She becomes determined to get her hands on the poetry, to publish in (and revive) her ailing poetry journ al. Chubb insists that Sara hear his story first. His tale is tol d over many sittings, and is the central story of MY LIFE AS A FA KE. As a conservative young poet in Melbourne in the 1950s, Chubb decided to teach the country a lesson about pretension and authe nticity. Choosing as his target the most avant-garde of the liter ary magazines, he submitted for publication the entire oeuvre of one Bob McCorkle, a working-class poet of raw power and sexual fr ankness, conveniently dead at twenty-four and entirely the produc t of Chubb's imagination. Not only did the magazine fall for the hoax, but its editor was prosecuted for publishing obscenity. At the trial someone uncannily resembling the man in the faked photo graph of the invented McCorkle leapt to his feet. At that moment the horrified Chubb was confronted by the malevolent being he had himself manufactured. Peter Carey wickedly and ruefully explores how the phantom poet taunts, haunts and otherwise destroys his m aker, pursuing Chubb from Melbourne to the seedy, sweaty, tropica l chaos of Kuala Lumpur. An unforgettable follow-up to the specta cularly successful TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG, MY LIFE AS A F AKE has all the Carey trademarks and more: an irresistible narrat or, a tragi-comic anti-hero, a world that is so familiar yet utte rly strange and disorienting, and a story that keeps you reading way past your bedtime. MY LIFE AS A FAKE is a manic, endearing an d penetrating ode to fakery at its most truthful and truth at its most fake, a novel that penetrates to the heart of the alchemy o f literature itself.
