About this book
For eighteen years Jean-Claude Romand told his family he was a doctor at the World Health Organization, driving each morning to a parking lot instead of an office, living on money borrowed from the people who trusted him most. When the lie began to collapse, so did everything around it. Carrère, who corresponded with Romand for years, reconstructs the deception and his own uneasy fascination with it, asking what fills the hours of a man with nowhere to be. Spare, disciplined and morally restless, this short French classic of narrative nonfiction reads like a psychological thriller while refusing any easy explanation.
