The acclaimed author of Low Life reinvents the memoir in a cunning,
lyrical book that is at once a personal history and a meditation on
the construction of identity.
Born in Belgium but raised in New Jersey, Luc Sante transformed
himself from a pious, timid Belgian boy into a loutish American
adolescent, who eschewed French while fantasizing about the pop
star Francoise Hardy. To show how this transformation came
about--and why it remained incomplete--The Factory of Facts
combines family anecdote and ancestral legend; detailed forays into
Belgian history, language, and religion; and deft synopses of the
American character.
