My Life as a Fake [Mass Market Paperback] Carey, Peter

**My Life as a Fake by Peter Carey - Preloved Paperback**

Buckle up for Peter Carey's wickedly clever meta-fiction that'll mess with your head in the best possible way. This literary thriller follows Sarah Wode-Douglass, an editor who stumbles into a bizarre tale of poetic hoaxes, stolen identities, and revenge in steamy Malaysia. When a fake poet comes to life (literally), things get deliciously weird.

Carey—two-time Booker Prize winner and master of Australian gothic—serves up a cocktail of truth, lies, and the murky space between. Think literary con games meet tropical noir, with hefty doses of postcolonial guilt and artistic fraud. Perfect for readers who loved *The Handmaid's Tale*, enjoyed *Cloud Atlas*, or anyone fascinated by the blurry line between fiction and reality.

This preloved gem from Patina Paperbacks has lived a little but still has plenty of mind-bending left in it.

**Reader Reviews:**
*"Absolutely bonkers in the most brilliant way—couldn't put it down!"*
*"Carey's imagination is unhinged and I'm here for it. Made me question everything I thought I knew about storytelling."*
