{"product_id":"several-deceptions-four-novellas-9780618049332","title":"Several Deceptions: Four Novellas","description":"Acclaimed in England, these wicked and wonderfully entertaining novellas deal with the infinite human capacity for deception and self-deception. The four stories in this remarkably assured work are beautifully shaped and deftly plotted; each is narrated by a richly distinctive voice, and each ends with a genuine surprise. The themes are wide-ranging: the mysteries of identity, the pitfalls of intellectual arrogance, the damage wrought by cleverness, the role of time in human affairs.\u003cbr\u003e SEVERAL DECEPTIONS is a dazzling debut; it gleams with intelligence and wit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.14h x 5.65w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618049332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2000 pg. 1142\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/14\/2000 pg. 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/05\/2000 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/11\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStevenson, Jane:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - JANE STEVENSON was born in London and brought up in London, Beijing, and Bonn.
