Derek DelGaudio 曾自認是個正直誠實的人。然而，當一本舊日記中出現的鐵證推翻了他的認知，塵封的記憶被喚醒，迫使他正視並試圖理解自己在過去一場重大騙局中所扮演的角色。
Derek 以年少時的筆記為地圖，踏上了一段深刻、時而幽默、時而陰暗的旅程，重新追溯那條引領他進入一個充斥著江湖郎中、老千與騙徒的世界之路。隨著故事層層剝開，偽裝被一一揭露，Derek 探尋父親離奇消失的謎團、母親傳承給他的秘密、他對手法技巧的執著如何塑造了他的未來，以及他與那些教他行騙的職業詐欺犯之間產生的共鳴。當他最終在一場高額賭注的好萊塢牌局中擔任出千的發牌員時，Derek 開始質疑自己的道德感，並發現即使是欺騙大師，也可能被困在自己編織的幻象之中。
《AMORALMAN》是一場對我們視為真理的虛構故事的精彩探索。這本書最終探討的是我們對自己撒的謊，以及我們在他人心中製造的現實。
The journal entries are woven in so cleverly that you feel the memory unraveling right alongside him; I couldn't put it down until the last page. It's the kind of true story that makes you question your own recollections, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
I was skeptical about another memoir built around a journal, but the way it peels back the narrator's self-image as evidence piles up is genuinely gripping. The pacing really forces you to sit with how easily we rewrite our own past.
The old journal device is such a clever way to pull the story together—it makes every reveal feel earned. I finished it in two sittings and was still thinking about Derek's memories days later.
