Boym discusses an extreme case in which reading for the conspiratorial plot presents an ethical problem, and the conflation of life and fiction turns deadly. The "secret" book, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," was one of the most influential forgeries of the twentieth century. She looks at the making of this book, as well as Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" and Danilo Kis's "The Book of Kings and Fools," two recent works that engage with conspiracy theories.
