May I recommend Barwise and Etchemendy THE LIAR?  They include a
general review of past attempts to solve the Liar's Paradox, why
they are unsatisfactory, and then proceed to give a perhaps winning
resolution of their own, using Aczel's non-well-founded models of
set theory and Austin's situational semantics.
