Skios by Michael Frayn
A fast-moving comic farce set at a small Greek island resort where a case of mistaken identity—an affable impostor is taken for a famous lecturer—sparks a chain of deceptions, romantic confusions and escalating social embarrassment; misunderstandings multiply as characters invent and conceal stories to preserve reputations, making the situation increasingly absurd until the tangled truths are finally confronted with witty satire on pretension and human vanity.
