Introduction: split in two -- Hypocrisy and Jesus -- Antihypocrisy: looking bad in order to be good -- Virtues naturally immune to hypocrisy -- Naked truth: hey, wanna f***? -- In divine services and other ritualized performances -- Say it like you mean it: mandatory faking and apology -- Flattery and praise -- Hoist with his own petard -- The self, the double, and the sense of self -- At the core at last: the primordial Jew -- Passing and wishing you were what you are not -- Authentic moments with the beautiful and sublime? -- The alchemist: role as addiction -- 'I love you': taking a bullet versus biting one -- Boys crying and girls playing dumb -- Acting our roles: mimicry, makeup, and pills -- False (im)modesty -- Caught in the act.

This book is about the intrusive fear that we may not be what we appear to be, or worse, that we may be only what we appear to be and nothing more. It is concerned with the worry of being exposed as frauds in our profession, cads in our love lives, as less than virtuously motivated actors when we are being agreeable, charitable, or decent. Why do we so often mistrust the motives of our own deeds, thinking them fake, though the beneficiary of them gives us full credit? Much of this book deals with that self-tormenting self-consciousness. It is about roles and identity, discussing our engagement in the roles we play, our doubts about our identities amidst this flux of roles, and thus about anxieties of authenticity.
