Biography of Deception

by Maria Glymph

Nine people. One conference room. Too many lies.

A literary mystery about the secrets we keep — and the performances we perfect.

On a snow-covered Monday morning, nine colleagues file into a glass conference room, preparing for another ordinary corporate week. But what begins as routine quickly spirals into quiet chaos, as betrayals and strange silences threaten to expose one person’s most dangerous secret.

Each person hides something. Some lies are small. Some are strategic. But one deception could unravel everything.

Told through shifting perspectives and layered with fragments of art, philosophy, and observation, Biography of Deception is a haunting novella about identity, truth, and the fictions we live by.
