Beyond \"sincerity,\" Levé works toward an objectivity so radical it could pass for crudeness, triviality, even banality: the author has stripped himself bare. With the force of a set of maxims or morals, Levé's prose seems at first to be an autobiography without sentiment, as though written by a machine—until, through the accumulation of detail, and the author's dry, quizzical tone, we find ourselves disarmed, enthralled, and enraptured by nothing less than the perfect fiction... made entirely of facts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShortlisted for the Best Translated Book Award in 2013.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44942386725064,"sku":"INGRAM-0226-0375","price":62.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiShop-23_4370e72f-7384-46f1-8a1e-599446f58e49.png?v=1771037252","url":"https:\/\/tintabudi.com\/products\/autoportrait","provider":"Tintabudi Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
