Story Behind The Book

Growing up in the 20th Century, we all talked about changing the world. Now the world is changed, and we find we got lost along the way. When did that happen? Was it while we were smoking with the boys upstairs? Maybe our lovers told us life stories that turned out not to be true. Or maybe the technology changes so quickly we never really catch up. Can reality actually be reduced to tweets? Different characters with different voices drive the story cycle in Believable Lies. Life is funny sometimes, isn't it? And then, when we look in the mirror, are we still laughing?

You’ll laugh so hard you won’t realize you’re crying. No one should be this good, or this funny, the first time out. Neil’s genius is his ability to uncover the sadness that underlies the comic and the grandeur just below the surface.&quot; <br />--<a title="John Dufresne" href="http://www.johndufresne.com/">John Dufresne</a>, author of Requiem,MASS. <br /></p>
