As heard on BBC Radio 4's 'Book at Bedtime': the blistering story
of a ghostwriter haunted by his demonic subject, the Man Booker
Prize winner turns to lies, crime and literature with devastating
effect A young and penniless writer, Kif Kehlmann, is rung in the
middle of the night by the notorious con man and corporate
criminal, Siegfried Heidl. About to go to trial for defrauding the
banks of $700 million, Heidl proposes a deal: $10,000 for Kehlmann
to ghostwrite his memoir in six weeks. Kehlmann accepts but begins
to fear that he is being corrupted by Heidl. As the deadline draws
closer, he becomes ever more unsure if he is ghostwriting a memoir,
or if Heidl is rewriting him-his life, his future. Everything that
was certain grows uncertain as he begins to wonder: who is
Siegfried Heidl-and who is Kif Kehlmann? By turns compelling, comic
and chilling, First Person is a haunting journey into the heart of
our age.
