Review

"Stevenson's novels are strongly plotted, particularly in their expert thematic dovetailing....As a manipulator of actors, she is always in control, perhaps too much so. Despite disparate settings and narrative personas, a single voice--erudite, fastidious, self-aware--emerges....SEVERAL DECEPTIONS delights with its verve and intelligence, but these deliciously baited literary games leave us hungry to see how their creator might lay out a simple meal."

"[F]our tales that seem more echoes of the past than soundings of the present....Well-crafted, oddly dated."

Publisher's note

Acclaimed in England, these wicked and wonderfully entertaining novellas deal with the infinite human capacity for deception and self-deception. The four stories in this remarkably assured work are beautifully shaped and deftly plotted; each is narrated by a richly distinctive voice, and each ends with a genuine surprise. The themes are wide-ranging: the mysteries of identity, the pitfalls of intellectual arrogance, the damage wrought by cleverness, the role of time in human affairs.
SEVERAL DECEPTIONS is a dazzling debut; it gleams with intelligence and wit.

Annotation

Four novellas, each with a surprise ending, about characters who have mastered the art of self-deception. Titles are THE ISLAND OF THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, LAW AND ORDER, THE COLONEL AND JUDY O'GRADY, and CROSSING THE WATER.
