- Book Synopsis
- When Robert (or Kidder, as his best friend calls him) decides to impress at a job interview by making up a son, he discovers that maintaining the lie is far harder than he thought - so he invents a story that ' Brodie' has been kidnapped. After all, it' s not like they' re going to find the fake boy.But a few weeks later, Kidder receives a call to collect his non-existent son from the police station - a boy who looks exactly like the picture he photoshopped… A darkly humorous, genre-bending work of literary sci-fi. Lynda Clark is a new talent to discover for lovers of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Coupland.
