It's Not a Lie takes readers into the chaotic world of art, journalism, and human pretence.
A tabloid magazine plans to expose a mysterious painter known only as Harakiri, whose childlike masterpieces have shaken the art market. Behind Harakiri stands Ottava, a self-assured PR man juggling his eccentric clients and an even more unpredictable daughter, Konstanze, who bursts into his life demanding help, work, and love. As scandals brew and identities unravel, Gert Richter's sharp-eyed satire reveals the absurdities of our media-driven age - with warmth, irony, and an unmistakable sense of humanity. At once funny and profound, It's Not a Lie captures the fragile dance between truth and illusion, family and fame, art and authenticity.
