Everyone Has a Biography. Most are Fiction. New Novella Explores Our Daily Deceptions.
Biography of Deception, the latest novella by Maria Glymph and Modern Odyssey Books, is now on sale. Early reviews call it a 'compelling read.'
- (1888PressRelease) July 06, 2025 - On a muted, snowy Monday, nine people enter a conference room to begin another ordinary week. But behind routine tasks and polished performances, something stirs — glimpses of truths not meant to be seen. Everyone hides something, and the real question becomes: how far would you go to uncover the secrets someone never meant to share?
Maria Glymph’s latest novella explores the many ways we deceive ourselves and those around us. From subtle facades to calculated manipulation, every form of deception is on display in this twist-filled tale, where everyone has something to hide, and one person is more at risk of being exposed than the rest.
Initial reactions praise the novella as a compelling and thought-provoking glimpse into the complexity of everyday truths. One reader said, “A compelling read, beautifully nuanced cast of characters, and an incredible mix of formats that move this from an inter-company whodunnit to an intriguing blend of literature, art, philosophy and mystery.”
Excerpt: “She disliked this space and office spaces in general. They were uninteresting. Gray, drab, boring. There was a psychology behind the neutrality of the setting and the desire to minimize fatigue that could come from overstimulation. Caused by what? In a word: color. Instead, charcoal, steel, stone, graphite. Beautiful words. Dull in this reality. But how real was it actually?”
