Liar

An acclaimed novelist’s intense memoir explores the impact of mental illness, memory, and storytelling as he faces a potential memory-eroding disease. In his effort to preserve his identity by documenting key moments from his turbulent life—ranging from personal tragedy to career highlights—he reveals the fragile nature of self-narratives. Darkly humorous and brutally honest, the memoir traces a life shaped by addiction, mental health challenges, and the complex truths we tell ourselves along the way.
