CONFIDENCE
Confidence is a psychologically twisty novel about two men involved in a long-con pyramid scheme who happen to also be lovers on the side.
Raphael Green and his subject, Orson Ortman, are lifelong friends, sometimes lovers, and partners in crime. Through the years, exploit after exploit, not only do they reach the upper echelons of self-made success, they grow closer and closer, too close, more self-obsessed and each-other-obsessed, more sinister. Before long, their greatest creation--an idea, a company, a lifestyle called NuLife - grows too big to fail. They IPO. A competitor shorts their stock. The FBI, seeing well beyond their scams, closes in on their trail.
Confidence is an exciting, brainy caper that thrills, captivates, and calls into question what it means to love, and what it means to sacrifice everything in pursuit of that love.
The book has great psychological twists and insights in the vein of Patricia Highsmith, but is also a compulsively readable thriller.
Rafael Frumkin is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and the Medill School of Journalism. His first novel, The Comedown, was published by Henry Holt in 2018 to critical acclaim. His Collection, Bugsy & Other Stories, is forthcoming. He lives with his partner, two cats, and one dog in Carbondale, Illinois, where he is an assistant professor of creative writing at Southern Illinois University.
