Resumen del Editor

An Elle Magazine Best Book of the Year an O, the Oprah Magazine Must-Read LGBTQ Book of the Yearan Electric Lit Best Short Story Collection of the Year

A Grindr Queer Book of the Year
A The Advocate LGBT+ Book You Absolutely Need to Read

"Riveting.... Every lie reveals itself so exquisitely that the parallels become an added pleasure, as soon as we uncover the ways they diverge." (New York Times Book Review)

"Dazzling. Here is a confident, psychologically astute new writer with a bold new vision." (Garrard Conley, New York Times best-selling author of Boy Erased)

Throughout this striking debut collection, we meet characters who have lied, who have sometimes created elaborate falsehoods, and who now must cope with the way that those deceptions eat at the very fabric of their lives and relationships. In the title story, the narrator, desperate to save a love affair on the rocks, hires an actor to play a friend he invented in order to seem less lonely, after his boyfriend catches on to his compulsion for lying and demands to know this friend is real; in "Aim for the Heart", a man's lies about a hunting habit leave him with an unexpected deer carcass and the need to parse unsettling high school memories; in "Rorschach", a theater producer runs a show in which death row inmates are crucified in an on-stage rendering of the New Testament, while being haunted daily by an unrequited love and nightly by ghosts of his own creation.

In I Know You Know Who I Am, Kispert deftly explores deception and performance, the uneasiness of reconciling a queer identity with the wider world, and creates a sympathetic, often darkly humorous, portrait of characters searching for paths to intimacy.

"Kispert blends sharp characterization with intriguing premises throughout this memorable collection." (Kirkus, starred)

"Kispert’s short fiction is a performative lie that reveals truth to readers in subtle, surprising ways that literary fiction lovers will devour... [these] stories dig deep, and they’re far from forgettable." (Booklist, starred)

Brilliant bunch of liars

Fascinating exploration of lies, lying, mistrust. Each story explores these ideas in a fresh way: white lies, lying to yourself, systemic lies, betrayal, deception, paranoia, etc. Some are absurdly funny, some downright chilling. Each time I revisit a story I discover something new. Haunting and well done.
