City Of Truth by James K. Morrow
In a fantastical city where no one can utter a falsehood and lies produce physical consequences, an outsider’s arrival sets off a clash between the city’s fierce ethic of absolute honesty and the messy realities of politics, religion, and human relationships. As residents and visitors are forced to choose between brutal candor and compassionate deception, the story satirizes ideological purity while probing whether truth alone can sustain a humane society and what is lost or preserved when people are forbidden to lie.
