My Life in CIA: A Chronicle of 1973 - Paperback
by Harry Mathews (Author)
Through a series of improbable coincidences, in the early 1970s Harry Mathews, then living in France, was commonly reputed to be a CIA agent. Even friends had their suspicions, which were only reinforced each time he tried to deny such a connection. With growing frustration at his inability to make anyone believe him, Mathews decided to act the part.
My Life in CIA documents Mathews's experiences as a would-be spy during 1973, where amid charged world events-the coup in Chile, Watergate, the ending of the Vietnam War--he found himself engaged in a game that took sinister twists as various foreign agencies decided he was a presence that should be eliminated.
Harry Mathews has turned these strange events into a spellbinding thriller where the line between fact and fiction gets relentlessly blurred.
Harry Mathews was the only American member of the Oulipo, the Workshop for Potential Literature, France's longest, and most active, literary movement. He is the author of over a dozen books, including the novels Cigarettes, The Journalist, and Tlooth.
