The Social Superpower by Kathleen Wyatt
In this brilliant, wide-ranging study of lies and lying, Kathleen Wyatt introduces us to a cast of professionals and professional liars, all to help her prove a remarkable thesis: lies hold us together as much as they push us apart and they play a vital role in a healthy society.
"This might sound like a back-handed compliment, but it is not meant to be: I cannot think of a better, more elegant or more articulate guide to mistruth than Kathleen" - Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain
Kathleen Wyatt grew up in England, Nigeria and Luxembourg, studied at Cambridge and Oxford and splits her time between London and Hampshire. She loves words and puts them in speeches for others and books for herself. She worked at The Times for sixteen years, starting as a 'workie', graduating to the arts section, then news, then becoming travel editor. She has lived twice, speaks six languages and thinks there is always more than one way to see things. If she's telling the truth, that is.
