Summary
Mark is a desperate unemployed writer who lives in a world where everyone unfailingly tells the truth. People don't even know what fiction is. Every thought, no matter how humiliating or harsh, tumbles out unvarnished. Then one day, Mark becomes so desperate he manages to concoct a lie, which is believed with total and absolute gullibility. Now, Mark can get anything he wants. But the one thing he truly wants is the love of a girl named Anna who happens to be the one person to whom he can't bring himself to lie.
