Baker McCloud is writing what he hopes will be his best book. A strange, ambitious work that refuses to behave, All Writers Are Liars is part novel, part provocation, and part confession. Inside it live two men: Malcolm, who wants to be better than he is, and Murray Flout, who doesn't give a shit.
As the manuscript takes shape, the line between the author and his characters begins to blur. Malcolm is reaching for redemption following a disastrous two year breakdown, while Murray is pushing the boundaries of taste and structure. He questions who has the right to tell certain stories, most dangerously through a confronting tale of survival that may not be his to tell.
And then there's McCloud, whose own life intrudes onto the page. He wants success, recognition, and the approval of the person who knows him best - and is increasingly troubled by the suspicion that the truths he's uncovering in his work might expose more about him than he's ready to face.
Sharp, darkly funny and uncomfortably honest, All Writers Are Liars explores the messy space between fiction and reality - and asks whether storytelling is an act of deception, or the only way we ever find the truth.
