Description

Liam has it all. A job he enjoys, a glamorous lifestyle and a girlfriend he is madly in love with. But after one night out he loses everything and finds himself on a plane to Buenos Aires. There he hopes to write the world's longest and truest love letter to the one person who still matters to him.

Reviews

* Smart, zingy and extremely funny, this is a real treat -- PAUL MURRAY, author of Skippy Dies * Captures the sun-soaked sexiness of the city ... and the hazy drug that is desire better than anything I have read in years -- JENN ASHWORTH Guardian * I loved this book! It is wickedly funny and razor sharp but has a warmth and tenderness that is hard to resist -- CATHERINE O'FLYNN, author of What Was Lost * A scintillating, intelligent and uproariously funny trip into the excesses of storytelling Big Issue * It's rare to find writing so lucid and honest at once, and in a book where pages turn themselves. I grabbed this for its mad adventure, but came away with a gift for the heart -- DBC PIERRE, author of Vernon God Little * Brown's deliciously tricksy novel encourages its reader to pay attention to correspondences between art and life Guardian * Partly an extended love letter, My Biggest Lie is an attempt at sincere self-expression, and an examination of contemporary culture and the difficulties of communication in our technologically fraught era... Rewarding and ambitious Times Literary Supplement * A stunning meditation on truth and falsehood in a world in which it becomes ever harder to tell the two apart. Plus it's a real page-turner. Deeply sensual and obscenely funny -- GARY SCHTYNGART, author of Absurdistan
