In this novel--written as faux memoir--by bestselling and critically acclaimed author Arthur Phillips, readers meet a young man by the name of Arthur who is struggling with the legacy of a larger-than-life father. When Arthur's father, imprisoned for decades and nearing the end of his life, informs him of a secret family legacy awaiting them in the bank vault, Arthur and his twin sister become the owners of an undiscovered play by William Shakespeare. But is it a great gift to the world of literature or is it their father's last great con? A virtuosic work, THE TRAGEDY OF ARTHUR movingly captures romantic and familial love and betrayal, while simultaneously jousting with the tension between storytelling and truth-telling, the anxiety of influence in both personal and artistic lives, and the act of literary mythmaking.
