Description
Step into the mind of Albert Park, an unreliable narrator who turns his guilt-ridden journey through life into a surreal, thrice-told fairytale of tragic misadventures, haunting memories, and elusive truths. This darkly humorous and deeply moving novel offers a kaleidoscopic view of one man’s attempts to outrun responsibility and wrestle with the ghosts of his past.
From abandoned orphan to scheming life coach to world-famous neurosurgeon (or so he claims), Albert’s ever-shifting narrative is filled with contradictions, dubious memories, and an unrelenting denial of his role in a string of calamities. Through it all, his charm and wit captivate readers even as his distorted recollections raise questions about the nature of guilt, identity, and redemption.
Albert Park: A Memoir in Lies is a masterful blend of humor, heartbreak, and psychological depth that will leave you questioning the stories we tell ourselves—and the truths we refuse to see. Perfect for readers of Ottessa Moshfegh, Patrick deWitt, and Kazuo Ishiguro.
