Circus
What is seen is not the truth, and the truth is not what is seen. Reality is a disguise. Roll up, roll up!Unmask the unexpected in Circus, a captivating short story collection based on the theme of mistaken identity. From a diamond necklace theft to a birthday confusion, each tale in this collection brings twists and turns. There is an imposter in a birthday party in Egypt; a Venezuelan scientist has almost solved climate change; two couples are left with questions after a restaurant encounter; and one person is dumbfounded after seeing the effects of astrology and faith, in person. One ticket for the circus please. 'Circus is a masterclass in misdirection' 'genuinely intrigued' 'A short story collection where mistaken identity isn't just a twist - it's the entire theme? That's rare, and refreshingly ambitious.
From Egypt to Venezuela, faith to fraud, a global cast of characters is woven into tales that peel back perception and force readers to ask: What is real, and who can we trust? It's smart fiction for readers who love short, sharp surprises - and who understand that behind every face, there's a mask.' '[For] readers who live for literary sleight-of-hand' 'Circus will especially resonate with: readers of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected, Jhumpa Lahiri, or Etgar Keret, fans of short fiction with intellectual edge and narrative mischief, audiences drawn to multicultural, international, and philosophical storytelling, anyone who loves a quick read with a lasting punch.'
