Dive into the World of Deception with Derek DelGaudio’s AMORALMAN
Truth and lies are two sides of the same coin. But who’s flipping it? Derek DelGaudio, the creator and star of the astonishing theater show and forthcoming film In & Of Itself, takes you on a thought-provoking and brilliantly entertaining journey in his nonfiction masterpiece, AMORALMAN.
Derek DelGaudio once believed he was a decent, honest man. However, when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is discovered in an old journal, his memories are reawakened, forcing him to confront—and try to understand—his role in a significant act of deception from his past.
Using his youthful notebook entries as a road map, Derek embarks on a soulful, often funny, sometimes dark journey, retracing the path that led him to a world populated by charlatans, card cheats, and con artists. As stories are peeled away and artifices are revealed, Derek examines:
- The mystery behind his father’s vanishing act
- The secret he inherited from his mother
- The obsession he developed with sleight-of-hand that shaped his future
- The affinity he felt for the professional swindlers who taught him how to deceive others
Once he finds himself working as a crooked dealer in a big-money Hollywood card game, Derek begins to question his own sense of morality, discovering that even a master of deception can find himself trapped inside an illusion.
AMORALMAN is a wildly engaging exploration of the fictions we live as truths. It is ultimately a book about the lies we tell ourselves and the realities we manufacture in others.
