'If you know me atall, you will know me as a liar.'Kevin Carver is ahousehold name.

He finds himselfthe subject of vitriolic press attacks, a police investigation and so muchpublic loathing that he starts to wonder if he has any chance of receiving afair trial. As the line blurs between his own life and that of the character heplays on TV, Kevin is forced to confront a lifetime of inadequacy in order toredeem himself.The Star Witness is the story of one man's descent intodisgrace and his journey to rejoin the human race. This pin-sharp satire on theshallows of modern media culture will keep you laughing, cringing and guessinguntil the very last page.

A humanistic account of self-consciousness and personal identity, and offering a structural parallel between the epistemology of memory and bodily awareness. It provides a much-needed rapprochement between Analytic and Phenomenological approaches, developing Wittgenstein's insights into "I"-as-subject and self-identification.
