Summary Note First Person, Flanagan's first novel since winning the Man Booker Prize in 2014, is inspired by Flanagan's real-life experience ghost-writing the memoir of Australian conman Johann Friedrich Hohenberger. The novel is written in the first person by reality TV producer Kif Kehlman and details how Kif, as a younger, penniless writer unable to finish his first novel, agrees to ghost write the memoir of a notorious con man, Ziggy Heidl, who has defrauded the banks of $700 million. As work gets underway, Kif begins to fear that he is being corrupted by the con man and grows ever more uncertain as to whether he is ghost writing a memoir, or if Ziggy Heidl is rewriting him. At the novel's heart is a question: what is the truth?
