Fake Accounts

by Lauren Oyler
Fake Accounts - Thryft
Fake Accounts - Thryft

Deceptive world of Internet truths.

Recommended for readers who enjoy thought-provoking novels that explore the themes of identity, authenticity, and self-reflection in a world shaped by online lies. Lauren Oyler's debut novel, Fake Accounts, is a subversive and funny take on the complexities of relationships in the digital age. The protagonist's journey from New York to Berlin offers a fresh perspective on contemporary society's preoccupation with social media, unreliable narratives, and the masks people wear to hide their true selves. A must-read for those who enjoy literary fiction that challenges conventional beliefs and shines a light on the emotional turmoil of modern life.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE A wry, provocative and very funny debut novel about identity, authenticity and the self in the age of the internet‘I loved it’ Zadie Smith‘Brilliant, very funny’ Guardian‘Prepare to feel very seen’ I-D On the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration, a young woman snoops through her boyfriend’s phone and makes a startling discovery: he’s an anonymous Internet conspiracy theorist, and a popular one at that. Already fluent in Internet fakery, irony, and outrage, she’s not exactly shocked by the revelation. But this is only the first in a series of bizarre twists that expose a world whose truths are shaped by online lies.Suddenly left with no reason to stay in New York – or be anywhere in particular – she flees to Berlin, and embarks on her own cycles of manipulation in the deceptive spaces of her daily life, from dating apps to expat social events, open-plan offices to bureaucratic waiting rooms.Narrated in a voice as seductive as it is subtly subversive, Fake Accounts is a wry, provocative and very funny debut novel about identity and authenticity in the age of the internet.
