Pack of Lies

Gilbert Sorrentino is one of the most accomplished innovators in twentieth-century fiction, a position that is everywhere confirmed in this trilogy of novels, ?"Odd Number," ?"Rose Theatre," and?"Misterioso." Beginning with a series of interrogations (we never do find out why they are being conducted) about characters drawn from other Sorrentino novels and concluding with the reappearance of the same characters, ?"Pack of Lies"?is Gilbert Sorrentino's testament to the supremacy of art and society, and a vicious comedy portraying a world of fraud and mayhem.
