If I told you King Con: The Bizarre Adventures of the Jazz Age's Greatest Impostor by Paul Willetts was fiction, you would totally believe my statement. The misadventures and audacity of Edgar Laplante sound far-fetched and unbelievable except that he was completely real. Dissect the title of this book, and you understand this entertaining story. My key lesson from reading this book is that truth absolutely can be stranger than fiction.
