The Forger
As New
Peter Carey, the Australian author who has won the Booker Prize twice, creates in this book a creature as unique as Frankenstein. 1940s, Melbourne: a young conservative poet, Christopher Chubb, decides to give his homeland a lesson on truth and lies. He targets the most avant-garde literary magazine to which he submits for publication the complete works of a certain Bob McCorkle, a poet from a working-class family whose writings stand out for their raw power and sexual freedom. It is supposed that the guy born from Christopher Chubb's imagination died at the age of twenty-four. The magazine's publisher is deceived by the forgery, and even the local authorities sue him for publishing obscene material. In the ensuing trial, a guy who looks remarkably like the forged photograph of the invented McCorkle rises up. Terrified, Chubb suddenly finds himself face to face with the malevolent creature he himself has constructed. A manic, captivating, and penetrating ode where forgery reaches the peak of verisimilitude and truth reaches the peak of fictitiousness. A novel that touches the heart of literary alchemy.
