«My Life As A Fake» is the literary mystery novel by Peter Carey, published by Penguin Books in paperback (288 pages, in English).
Christopher Chubb, a conservative poet in 1940s Melbourne, invents Bob McCorkle, a working-class author who died at 24, and presents his poems as genuine work to ridicule the literary scene. The avant-garde magazine falls for the trick, its editor is tried for obscenity, and at the trial a man identical to the fake poet appears.
The novel was originally published in 2003; this edition is from 2004. Nominated for the Kiriyama Prize for fiction in 2004.
Intended for readers of literary fiction and mystery, with a plot about deception, identity, and authorship.
Peter Philip Carey is an Australian novelist who has lived in New York City for more than three decades.
