Overview

ā€¢Ā Named one of theĀ Huffington Post'sĀ 2015 Books We Can't Wait To ReadĀ ā€¢

ā€œSmart and absorbing. . . . Echoes of Steven Millhauser and Tom McCarthy. . . . Probing, witty.ā€ ā€”The New York Times Book Review

ā€œA masterful debut . . . delivered with vaudeville verve.ā€Ā ā€”The Washington Post

ā€œDarkly funny. . . . A deeply sensitive exploration into matters of identity and authenticity.ā€ ā€”Associated Press

ā€œThe PoserĀ is smart and grand and funny, a wonderful fable. Mr. Rubin is a great hope for comic fiction in the 21st century. Heā€™s got the spirit and the ear.ā€Ā ā€”Sam Lipsyte

A hilarious and dazzling debut novel about a master impressionist at risk of losing his true self

All his life, Giovanni Bernini has possessed an uncanny gift: he can imitate anyone he meets. Honed by his mother at a young age, the talent catapults him from small-town obscurity to stardom.

As Giovanni describes it, ā€œNo oneā€™s disguise is perfect. There is in every person, no matter how graceful, a seam, a thread curling out of them. . . . When pulled by the right hands, it will unravel the person entire.ā€ As his fame grows, Giovanni encounters a beautiful and enigmatic stage singer, Lucy Starlightā€”the only person whose thread he cannot findā€”and becomes increasingly trapped inside his many poses. Ultimately, he must assume the one identity he has never been able to master: his own.

In the vein of Jonathan Lethemā€™s and Kevin Wilsonā€™s playful surrealism, Jacob Rubinā€™s The Poser is the debut of a major literary voice, a masterfully written, deeply original comic novel, and the moving story of a man who must risk everything for the chance to save his life and know true love.
