A Perfect Hoax
Travelling salesman Enrico Gaia decides to play a trick on the conceited ageing littérateur Mario Samigli: he dupes him into thinking that a representative of a prestigious Viennese publishing house wants to commission a German translation of a long-forgotten novel Samigli had written and published at his own expense forty years ago.This leads the old man to reach new heights of self-delusion, spurred on by Gaia’s succession of ruses. In this tragicomic study of deception and disappointment, Italo Svevo – who himself was an undiscovered writer until his old age – parodies elements of his own life and offers an insightful psychological portrait of a person who has lost touch with reality.

A Hoax in Time
Chester W. Chester the IV has recently inherited his uncle’s rambling old mansion along with three million dollars in IRS debts associated with the property. An inspection of the mansion turns up only a wine seller and a huge, secret, underground, super computer that Chester’s uncle was developing at the time of his death. After drinking liberally from the wine cellar, Chester and his friend Case Mulvihill hatch an impossible plan to hoodwink the IRS using some of the computer’s rather unusual capabilities. Their plan goes awry almost immediately and the two are off on an unexpected, wild romp of an adventure and nothing will ever be the same. A Hoax in Time was originally serialized in Fantastic Stories of the Imagination in 1963. Keith Laumer was nominated for both the Hugo and nebula Awards on multiple occasions.

Hoax : The Popish Plot that Never Was
The extraordinary story of the Popish Plot and how it shaped the political and religious future of Britain “Stater tells a complex and convoluted story with absolute clarity. . . . As a work of historical scholarship, Hoax is terrific.”—Robert G.Ingram, National Review “[Stater’s] accounts have the compulsively fascinating quality of a true-crime podcast.”—Jeffrey Collins, Wall Street Journal In 1678, a handful of perjurers claimed that the Catholics of England planned to assassinate the king.Men like the “Reverend Doctor” Titus Oates and “Captain” William Bedloe parlayed their fantastical tales of Irish ruffians, medical poisoners, and silver bullets into public adulation and government pensions.Their political allies used the fabricated plot as a tool to undermine the ministry of Thomas Lord Danby and replace him themselves.The result was the trial and execution of over a dozen innocent Catholics, and the imprisonment of many more, some of whom died in custody. Victor Stater examines the Popish Plot in full, arguing that it had a profound and lasting significance on British politics.He shows how Charles II emerged from the crisis with credit, moderating the tempers of the time, and how, as the catalyst for the later attempt to deny James II his throne through parliamentary action, it led to the birth of two-party politics in England.

In 1996, Alan Sokal, a Professor of Physics at New York University, wrote a paper for the cultural-studies journal Social Text, entitled 'Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity'.It was reviewed, accepted and published. Sokal immediately confessed that the whole article was a hoax - a cunningly worded paper designed to expose and parody the style of extreme postmodernist criticism of science.The story became front-page news around the world and triggered fierce and wide-ranging controversy.Sokal is one of the most powerful voices in the continuing debate about the status of evidence-based knowledge.In Beyond the Hoax he turns his attention to a new set of targets - pseudo-science, religion, and misinformation in public life. 'Whether my targets are the postmodernists of the left, the fundamentalists of the right, or the muddle-headed of all political and apolitical stripes, the bottom line is that clear thinking, combined with a respect for evidence, are of the utmost importance to the survival of the human race in the twenty-first century.' The book also includes a hugely illuminating annotated text of the Hoax itself, and a reflection on the furore it provoked.
