"Long before James Frey ticked off Oprah, Jerzy Kosinski excited controversy with The Painted Bird, a novel that Kosinski slyly promoted as an autobiographical account of his own childhood in Poland during its occupation by Nazi Germany. When it was alleged that his personal' experience was largely fabricated, Kosinski's career was forever tarnished. Accusations of plagiarism further plagued Kosinski, who committed suicide in 1991.
Was Kosinski liar or embellisher, literary thief or literary genius? The continuing debate fuels Davey Holmes' MORE LIES ABOUT JERZY.
...Holmes' deft drama is a fictionalized look at a man who falls from grace for fictionalizing his own life--a neat meta-theatrical exercise that examines the sometimes cannibalistic nature of creativity.
Although Holmes has changed the characters' names, the play roughly follows the arc of Kosinski's pyrotechnical rise and sputtering fall. Holmes' thinly-veiled stand-in for Kosinski, Jerzy Lesnewski is a newly famous author and voracious womanizer, a regular on the talk show circuit as well as in New York's flourishing sex clubs, circa the early 1970s. When a formerly supportive journalist exposes inconsistencies in Jerzy's work, the vultures circle."
