Description
Truth and lies are two sides of the same coin. But who’s flipping it? Dive into Derek DelGaudio’s thought-provoking and brilliantly entertaining work of nonfiction, AMORALMAN, a journey through the world of deception and the human psyche.
Derek DelGaudio, the creator and star of the astonishing theater show and forthcoming film In & Of Itself, believed he was a decent, honest man. However, when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is found in an old journal, his memories are reawakened, forcing him to confront—and try to understand—his role in a significant act of deception from his past.
Using his youthful notebook entries as a road map, Derek embarks on a soulful, often funny, sometimes dark journey, retracing the path that led him to a world populated by charlatans, card cheats, and con artists. As stories are peeled away and artifices are revealed, Derek examines:
- The mystery behind his father’s vanishing act
- The secret he inherited from his mother
- The obsession with sleight-of-hand that shaped his future
- The affinity he felt for the professional swindlers who taught him how to deceive others
Once he finds himself working as a crooked dealer in a big-money Hollywood card game, Derek begins to question his own sense of morality, discovering that even a master of deception can find himself trapped inside an illusion.
AMORALMAN is a wildly engaging exploration of the fictions we live as truths. It is ultimately a book about the lies we tell ourselves and the realities we manufacture in others. With 256 pages of captivating content, this instant download is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the complexities of human behavior and the art of deception.
