Lie - Novel

Lie - Novel Book Description Receiving a prestigious literary award is a turning point for an author. Even if Romain Gary is a writer who has proven his maturity in world literature by winning the Goncourt Prize with his work The Roots of Heaven, he will not be satisfied with this. After the award, French critics claimed that he was repeating himself, so he created a new persona and started writing under the pseudonym Émile Ajar. Gary, who won this award, which is famous for the strictness of its legislation, under his pseudonym for the second time and defeated the literary community, critics and readers with a deception that will go down in history as the "Ajar Incident", plays a sometimes autobiographical "pretend" that allows us to witness moment by moment his creation by destroying himself in this play. " story is told in Lie-Novel. The struggle of a neurotic character to take revenge on the bourgeois society, stuck in the middle of an order that forces him to adapt to a normality based on imitations, reveals that the reality escaped is more striking than all the lies told. "It was there. Someone, an identity, a trap for life, the presence of absence, a disability, a fragmentation, a domination, becoming me. Émile Ajar. I had revived myself. I was frozen, caught, stopped, held, cornered. In short, I existed." ." (From the Promotional Bulletin)
