The Invention of Lying

Louis: ***, Angela: ***

A cute story which takes place in a world where everyone tells the truth. The main character comes up with the notion of "telling things not as they are" and everyone perceives his lies as reality.

We thought the description of the world (where people say everything they're thinking) was very funny. For example when the main character visits his mother in the old folks home, the sign on the building reads "A Sad Place For Hopeless Old People".
