Fibbin' Archie

 

 

 

 

Love and romance can be tough for a compulsive fibber
Archie has quite a reputation as a practised fibber. Normally his lies are harmless but as time goes by they begin to get him into more and more trouble. They lose him his girlfriend, and bizarrely, his hearing as his ears begin to react in a very strange way every time he is less than truthful. Giving honest opinions isn’t enough. Deep truth is called for. But finding that isn’t easy. Some truths are very hard to face. Then numbers become interesting, too.
Fibbin’ Archie, is, however, more than the story of a disenchanted young man. It is also a writing experiment based on a fascinating number series (Fibonacci!) It is a piece of experimental writing, a humorous story of love and sex, an examination of social issues affecting young adults and a story of coming of age.

Archie seems to have a reputation as a compulsive liar and yet he didn't lie about everything. In fact, most of the characters told fibs.
However, this was a great story with lots of unsavoury characters in a small community. The plot is full of twists and turns. The pace worked well - whether that was due to the skill of the writer or Fibonacci, I can't say.
