The result is a delightfully quirky 'faction' read, which questions the very nature of reality and human relationships. At every page the reader is exposed to alternative ways of viewing the world, often disturbing, sometimes strangely liberating. MENAGERIE OF FALSE TRUTHS is an unforgettable work of genius that will leave you reeling.
