Even before the controversy that surrounded the publication of "A
Million Little Pieces," the question of truth has been at the heart
of memoir. From Elie Wiesel to Benjamin Wilkomirski to David
Sedaris, the veracity of writers' claims has been suspect. In this
fascinating and timely collection of essays, leading writers
meditate on the subject of truth in literary nonfiction. As David
Lazar writes in his introduction, "How do we verify? Do we care to?
(Do we dare to eat the apple of knowledge and say it's true? Or is
it a peach?) Do we choose to? Is it a subcategory of faith? How do
you respond when someone says, 'This is really true'? Why do they
choose to say it then?"
