As the project spirals into manipulation and paranoia, Kif becomes trapped in a bizarre and increasingly destructive relationship with a man who may be both delusional and dangerously charismatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003ePart literary satire and part psychological thriller, the novel draws heavily from Flanagan’s own experiences in publishing and explores the blurred boundaries between fiction, memory, performance, and identity.
