Confidence
批評家のレビュー
"Em Grosland takes listeners inside the mind of Ezra Green, a con man who is hopelessly in love with Orson Ortman, his con artist partner. Grosland excels at voicing the two men from their first meeting at a camp for juvenile delinquents to Ortman's wedding more than a decade later...Grosland keeps listeners invested and even engenders sympathy for Green, a manipulative liar, fraud, and all-around sociopath whose diseased eyes torment him until his world turns black." (AudioFile Magazine)

“Theranos but make it gay.” —Electric Literature
Best friends (and occasional lovers) Ezra and Orson are teetering on top of the world after founding a company that promises instant enlightenment in this “propulsive, cheeky, eat-the-rich page-turner” (The Washington Post) about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream.
At seventeen, Ezra Green doesn’t have a lot going on for him: he’s shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. He’s also on his way to Last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie.
But Ezra’s summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling. Together, the two embark upon what promises to be a fruitful career of scam artistry. But things start to spin wildly out of control when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet—Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss.
“Propulsive” (The New York Times Book Review) and “laugh-out-loud funny” (BuzzFeed), with the suspense of The Talented Mr. Ripley, the decadence of The Great Gatsby, and the wit of Succession, Confidence is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme.
