"It's like Jon Ronson stopped taking his pills and started hanging out with the ghost of Kurt Vonnegut." - Jon Ronsom Jr., author of 'The Goats who stare at Men'
Citizen truth is on the trail of lies.
And behind the lies are liars. Lots of them.
It starts in Hong Kong with an angry poet looking for work space. Then a millionaire building a housing estate for the homeless and putting them to work as security guards and journalists.
Drug pushers making their own TV commercial about the joys of heroin.
A new college for the poor that has its lectures on the streets.
But Citizen Truth soon outgrows Hong Kong and takes his pen west to Hollywood and the lies of the movie business. Onto the set of Slumdog Millionaire with Danny Boyle and his whip. Into the forgotten house of a dead writer in LA.
Until only one question remains:
Why can't Jackie Chan have sex in Hollywood?
"It's smart, it's funny...and most of all, it's insane like me." - Ed Norton, ex-movie star
