The Counterfeiters by André Gide

4.0

An original novel about deception, both literal and metaphorical. Gide focuses the story on friends Bernard and Olivier and adds supplemental characters, some of whom I am perplexed at what they bring to the table (Alfred Jarry?). Gide's alter-ego Edouard gives a unique perspective as told in the form of journal entries. The homosexuality was apparently scandalous when this was published in 1927. Very interesting read. An in-depth look at the themes and characters would make for great discussions fo a group read.
