In the present day, Mallory, a young overworked and underpaid intern employed by the dictionary's publishing house, is tasked with uncovering these entries before the work is digitized. As the novel progresses and their narratives combine, as Winceworth imagines who will find his fictional words in an unknown future and Mallory discovers more about the anonymous lexicographer's life through the clues left in his fictitious entries, both discover how they might negotiate the complexities of an absurd, relentless, untrustworthy, hoax-strewn, undefinable life. Braiding together contemporary and historical narratives, the novel explores themes of trust, agency and creativity, celebrating the rigidity, fragility and absurdity of language."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Lexicographers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Encyclopedias and dictionaries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Truthfulness and falsehood $v Fiction. 650 0 $a English language $x Etymology $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Unrequited love $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Coming out (Sexual orientation) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Threats of violence $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Victoria, 1837-1901 $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Lexicographes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Mensonge $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Anglais (Langue) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x EÌtymologie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0019121 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Amour malheureux $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Sortir du placard (HomosexualiteÌ) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Menaces de violence $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a Grande-Bretagne $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0042351 $y 1837-1901 (Victoria) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0042351 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Absurdist. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / LGBT / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Coming out (Sexual orientation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869198 650 7 $a Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00882393 650 7 $a Encyclopedias and dictionaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909533 650 7 $a English language $x Etymology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911149 650 7 $a Lexicographers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997019 650 7 $a Threats of violence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01741309 650 7 $a Truthfulness and falsehood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01158255 650 7 $a Unrequited love. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162027 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Coming out. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Encyclopedias and dictionaries $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Truthfulness and falsehood $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a English language $x Etymology $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Love $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Coming out (Sexual orientation) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Great Britain $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1837-1901 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Williams, Eley, $t The liar's dictionary $d New York : Doubleday, 2021. $z 9780385546782 $w (DLC) 2020013023 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220720151525.0 $n 18 $p 2 Large Print copies 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=70C719CA082E11ED9FB3A0BE1E3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
