There is no way to prove that it happened, but why would I lie?' Funny, sexy, and politically astute, 'Attention-Seeking Behaviour' is at once a personal confessional and a critical history of lie detection methods. Blending fiction and non-fiction - memoir, novel and essay - it wields confession shamelessly while positively embracing the proximity of literature and lying.The narrator of 'Attention-Seeking Behaviour' thinks you should know about the body she found in the park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe thinks you should know about her sex life, which is fulfilling and systematic.
