Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A confession from a liar that exposes the interrelation of language, control, performance, intimacy, and love I have never told anyone about this before. There is no way to prove that it happened, but why would I lie? The narrator of Attention-Seeking Behavior wants to tell you about Normal Ben, the man she's been seeing: their running jokes, the stories she's told him. She wants to tell you about the incorrect belief that tiny facial expressions betray a person's real feelings. She wants to tell you about the time she went to a therapist to try to cure her lying habit. She wants to tell you about the body she found on a walk through the park. She wants to tell you about lies she's told her demeaning, erratic boss. She wants to tell you about the history of police interrogation techniques, which use deception to extract false confessions. She wants to tell you that all lie-detection methods are phony. She wants to tell you what it's like to read opposing testimonies in a sexual assault case. She wants to tell you about her ex-boyfriend, who is a liar. But is she telling you the truth--or does she only want your attention?

Hardback. Condition: New. 'I have never told anyone about this before. There is no way to prove that it happened, but why would I lie?' The narrator of Attention-Seeking Behaviour thinks you should know about the body she found in the park. She thinks you should know about her sex life, which is fulfilling and systematic. She thinks you should know that she is a writer, that she is 'complex, creative and nasty'.But above all, she thinks you should know that she is a compulsive liar.Trying to break this habit for the sake of Normal Ben, an honest and uncomplicated man, she attempts a sincere reckoning with her long history of deception, its psychological roots and the terrible cost it has exacted on her relationships. But can we believe a word she says?Funny, sexy, and politically astute, Attention-Seeking Behaviour is at once a personal confessional and a critical history of lie detection methods. Blending fiction and non-fiction - memoir, novel and essay - it wields confession shamelessly while positively embracing the proximity of literature and lying.
