The Third Lie

The Third Lie

Grove/Atlantic, New York, New York, 1995

Description

The Third Lie is one of those books where you do not know whether the narrative is happening in reality or in someone’s head. The plot revolves around one man’s pursuit of his long lost (or dead) twin brother.  The cover, I think, presents this idea in an intriguing way.  Using the inside binding of an old book as the outer cover is my favorite art of this cover and reflects the inside-out quality of the story.
