Resumen
Based on a famous hoax perpetrated in Australia in 1943, Peter Carey explores imagination and its relation to fact in this novel about a woman named Sarah Wode-Douglass, editor of The Modern Review, who travels to Kuala Lumpur. There she finds Christopher Chubb, who tells her an amazing story: he passed off his own poems as works by a brilliant but nonexistent poet named Bob McCorkle. When the hoax was uncovered, Chubb was ruined--and McCorkle became real and sought revenge on his creator. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
