More Lies

di Richard James Allen (Autore)

Interactive Publications, 2025

More Lies is an offbeat comedy thriller – a playful hybrid of fiction, poetry and monologue – about a writer writing to stay alive. A timely satire on the nature of truth and trust, the novel opens with 'our hero' being held hostage in their New York apartment, forced to type to hide the manoeuvres of a femme fatale, holding a pearl-handled gun, and her brother, a small-time thug with big-time ambitions. Through a series of lies, backflips and alternative versions of this wild tale of assassination, lost gold, betrayal, passion and identity theft, the author moves from being a trapped hack, forced to prostitute themselves, to dazzling the world with the acrobatics of their imagination, to the heart of the matter: storytelling is all that is keeping them alive. Richard James Allen is an Australian writer, filmmaker and performer, based in Sydney/Gadigal. A founder and co-artistic director with Karen Pearlman of the multi-award-winning Physical TV Company, his work has been screened, broadcast, published and presented on six continents. Richard’s thirteenth book, Text Messages from the Universe'(Flying Island Books, 2023), was a finalist for three international awards. A film adaptation won six awards and was nominated for Best Narrative Feature Film at the ATOM Awards. In an earlier incarnation, his novel More Lies was shortlisted for the Griffin Award for New Australian Playwriting. Richard was thrilled to collaborate with Jadzea Allen and John Hresc on the audiobook narration, which had its festival premiere at the 2025 FLICKERS’ Rhode Island International Film Festival.
