Love and Lies. You can't have one without the other. This book is about why.
A former owner of a variety of jewellery operations in Texas, Clancy Martin is presently an Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He has translated Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, has written several books for Oxford University Press, and has published many essays, reviews and short stories. He is the author of the acclaimed novel How to Sell. He is married and has three daughters.
This is a strange and hauntingly intelligent book. To read it is to
see new and unsettling complexities in our most cherished
relationships, as well as to understand a little better the subtle
workings of our own deceitful minds
*Sunday Times*
A philosophical memoir with juicy details and an aching sense of
loss and yearning—in other words, something entirely strange and
new from a wounded lover of the truth
*Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air*
Perhaps paradoxically, this is one of the most honest books I have
read about love
*Simon Critchley, author of The Book of Dead Philosophers*
Read this book if you really want to know some of the scary truths
about love--or even if, like me, you have attained the ideal of
pure, truthful, transparent love... Martin writes philosophy the
way I wish all philosophers would: with humor, wit, and style
*Akhil Sharma, author of Family Life: A Novel*
Love and Lies is a delight to read
*Boston Globe Sunday*
