A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000. Media reviews"[A CONSPIRACY OF PAPER is an] engaging and multifaceted first novel....That [Liss] succeeds in making comprehensible a historical period that seems to have been built on obfuscation is remarkable. That the period was similar to our own may be a warning as well." |
