Duped: Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married
Autor Abby Ellinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2019
From
Abby
Ellin's
first
date
with
the
Commander,
she
was
caught
up
in
a
whirlwind.
Within
six
months
he'd
proposed,
and
they'd
moved
in
together.
But
soon,
his
exotic
stories
of
international
espionage
began
to
unravel.
Finally,
it
all
became
clear:
he
was
lying
about
who
he
was.
After
leaving
him
and
sharing
her
story,
she
was
floored
to
find
out
that
her
experience
was
far
from
unique.
People
everywhere,
many
of
them
otherwise
sharp-witted
and
self-aware,
are
being
deceived
by
their
loved
ones
every
day.
InDuped,
Abby
Ellin
studies
the
art
and
science
of
lying,
talks
to
people
who've
had
their
worlds
upended
by
duplicitous
partners,
and
writes
with
great
openness
about
her
own
mistakes.
These
remarkable
stories
reveal
how
often
we
encounter
people
whose
lives
beneath
the
surface
are
more
improbable
than
we
ever
imagined.

'Abby Ellin's writing is everything her fiancé pretended to be: witty, vulnerable, brave, smart, and honest' Michael Finkel, author of The Stranger in the Woods
In Duped, New York Times journalist Abby Ellin explores the secret lives of compulsive liars, and the tragedy of those who trust them. Perfect for anybody who enjoyed Bad Blood and Dirty John.
While leading a double life sounds like the stomping ground of psychopaths, moles, and covert agents with indeterminate dialects, plenty of people who appear 'normal' keep canyon-sized secrets from those in their immediate orbits. These untold stories lead to enormous surprises, often unpleasant ones. Duped is an investigation of compulsive liars - and how they fool their loved ones - drawing on Abby Ellin's personal experience.
From the day Abby went on her first date with The Commander, she was caught up in a whirlwind. Within five months he'd proposed, and they'd moved in together. But there were red flags: strange stories of international espionage, involving Osama bin Laden and the Pentagon. Soon his stories began to unravel until she discovered, far later than she'd have liked, that he was a complete and utter fraud.
When Ellin wrote about her experience in Psychology Today, the responses were unlike anything she'd experienced as a journalist. Legions of people wrote in with similar stories, of otherwise sharp-witted and self-aware people being taken in by ludicrous scams. Why was it so hard to spot these outlandish stories? Why were so many of the perpetrators male, and so many of the victims female? Was there something universal at play here?
In Duped, New York Times journalist Abby Ellin explores the secret lives of compulsive liars, and the tragedy of those who trust them - who have experienced severe, prolonged betrayal - and the terrible impact on their sense of reality and their ability to trust ever again. Studying the art and science of lying, talking to victims who've had their worlds turned upside down, and writing with great openness about her own mistakes, she lays the phenomenon bare. Ellin offers us a shocking and intimate look not only at the damage that the duplicitous cause, but the painful reaction of a society that is all too quick to blame the believer.
