A Flickering Flame — Reva Spiro Luxenberg

A Flickering Flame is a compelling tale about Jeffrey Shulman, a brilliant pathological liar, an emotionally scarred man with a rare condition named by psychiatrists as Pseudologia fantastica. It is an engrossing chronicle of his life, from his infancy when he was abused, to when he becomes a convincing impostor, to a time when his wife attempts to murder him with a .357 magnum aimed at his chest, and his subsequent struggle to survive and get custody of his children.
