Seven Lies
Part political thriller, part meditation on the nature of desire and betrayal, Seven Lies tells the story of Stefan Vogel, a young East German, whose yearnings for love, glory, and freedom express themselves in a lifelong fantasy of going to America. By a series of increasingly dangerous maneuvers, he makes this fantasy come true, his past seemingly locked behind the Berlin Wall and a new life of unbounded bliss ahead of him. But then his world begins to fall apart.

Praise for this book
Grimly funny, painfully sad, and beautifully written.--Marcus Eliason "Associated Press"
Poet James Lasdun confirms his career as an important novelist. . . . Macabre but sensationally authentic.-- "New York Sun"
A surprising and nuanced novel . . . that skillfully blends the political and the personal.-- "The New Republic"
Pitch-perfect. . . . And what finely wrought characters. . . . [Seven Lies's] complex plot falls into place with the irresistible inevitability of a clockwork's gears and levers.-- "Toronto Globe and Mail"
