Description
Leo Barber's life story is one of deception and reinvention. From his early days as a faux-innocent xenophobe to his later claims as a poet, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of truth.
Through it all, Barber's voice remains discursive and opinionated, vulnerable and comic. Despite his despicable actions, there is a sense of sympathy for this complex and often sympathetic character.
This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a man who has lived a life of fabrication and self-delusion. With wit and humor, Barber recounts his rise to fame and his eventual downfall.
