Is it possible to love well without lying? Ranging widely across philosophy, his own experience, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and many writers on love, the author - divorced twice and married three times - explores how love, truthfulness and deception work together.

Is it possible to love well without lying? Love should lead us to the truth, about ourselves and about those we love, shouldn’t it? But in the real world we find that love and lies often work hand in hand, and that it may be difficult to sustain love without illusions or even deception.

Ranging widely across philosophy, his own experience, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and many writers on love, Clancy Martin – divorced twice and married three times – explores how love, truthfulness and deception work together.

A former owner of a variety of jewellery operations in Texas, Clancy Martin is presently an Associate Professor and Chair of Philosophy at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He has translated Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, has written several books for Oxford University Press, and has published many essays, reviews and short stories. He is the author of the acclaimed novel How to Sell. He is married and has three daughters.
