About This Item
London: Viking, 2000. First edition, 2000. Hardback. 246pp. Dust jacket. From servant girls who made themselves princesses and the footman who turned cannibal chief, to Red Indians born hundreds of miles from the nearest tepee, university professors and surgeons with no qualifications but their genius, and men from all walks of life who turned out, on their deaths to be women, Sarah Burton's brilliant exposition of the bold and bizarre world of the impostor is peopled by a huge cast of adventurers and escapologists. This is more than an exploration of how impostors succeed and why they feel compelled to change their lives, "Impostors" is also a meditation on identity. Book in very good condition. A little toning to page edges. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Just a little very light edge wear.
