Notes for a Eulogy

Notes for a Eulogy is a riveting exploration of connection, deception, and the complexity of human relationships. Over the course of 23 years, Morley Peck, a reserved and introspective man, shares his deepest truths with Francine Tanzer-except for one crucial detail: everything he tells her is a lie.

Their story begins in the workplace, where they forge a fleeting bond during a single year together. But even after life takes them in separate directions, their friendship endures for the next two decades, shaped and defined by the elaborate fictions Morley constructs.

As the years pass, their relationship becomes a lens through which the novel examines the reasons people lie, the unexpected intimacy that can arise from dishonesty, and the evolving dynamics of friendship and trust from one's late thirties to early sixties.

Provocative and poignant, Notes for a Eulogy delves into the satisfactions and consequences of deceit, painting a deeply human portrait of how we connect-and disconnect-with those we hold closest.
