He has just taken a prestigious university position in Los Angeles and has been appointed to oversee the collection of papers and works of a leading light of the gay literary salon known as the Purple Circle. Ross stumbles across a lost work by an unknown author and his quest to identify the mystery writer and achieve the glory of scholastic tenure unveils increasingly bizarre and unbalanced facts about a group of writers who in the 1970s and 1980s broke new ground in the creation of a gay literary sensibility. But the dark truth contained within The Book of Lies is even more startling.\u003c\/p\u003eWith biting wit and a lush sense of place and character, Felice Picano's daring novel is at once a stylish mystery, a comical roman- -clef, and a wicked send-up of the new Ivory Tower.First published to acclaim in 1998, this new edition for 2020 features a foreword by David Bergman (The Violet Hour).\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 442\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52544392692019,"sku":"9781951092320","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/clBxdWhKR0E0T2tBUmxaem5vN2xNQT09.webp?v=1760957940","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-book-of-lies-paperback-5","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
