An aspiring writer stalks Vladmir Nabokov across midtown Manhattan one afternoon in the summer of Watergate. A young co-ed's seduction of her elderly philosophy professor delivers her an A and him lasting happiness. Max, "a liar and a voyeur, like any true artist," wanders the East Village taking photographs of murder victims. A famous Holocaust survivor "with the big eyes and the big prize" conducts an impromptu circumcision. <P>Ranging from 1895 Prague to the site of a Central American rebellion to the home of a certain Seattle software magnate to the roof of an urban skyscraper, each of these outrageous (though occasionally tender) stories offers keen insight into human nature. 763395 2003 A Faker's Dozen: Stories total:7|5:2|4:5| 7 30 12 2 4 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Wed Dec 12 01:15:57 -0800 2007 Wed Aug 05 05:47:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 10:02:41 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 26 22:03:17 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 06:07:04 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 06:07:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 03:30:56 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 03:30:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 27 10:31:35 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 10:32:24 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jan 04 21:20:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 21:20:04 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Dec 18 17:36:12 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 17:36:12 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Oct 10 16:20:42 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 16:20:42 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Oct 03 09:53:54 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 09:53:54 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 24 16:17:46 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 16:17:46 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Jul 31 01:12:17 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 31 01:12:18 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Jun 27 12:00:31 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 27 12:00:31 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=777366
