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.","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42682751779071,"sku":"9780618049332","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780618049332_s600x595.jpg?v=1780334641","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780618049332","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
