About the Author
Reviews
"Louise Marburg's collection, The Truth About Me, is wonderful. These are smart and lovely stories, perceptive, compassionate, and sometimes shocking. Who are these people, so helpless in the currents that surround them? Marburg reveals their cowardice, their flaws, and their deep capacities to engage the heart." --Roxana Robinson, author of Sparta: A Novel
"The Truth About Me, Louise Marburg's stunning debut collection, offers powerful, finely crafted stories and a myriad of memorable characters--some looking out at the world from behind a curtain, others peering in. What is at the core of each is human fragility: addiction, mental illness, grief, longing. Marburg know how to take those dark breathtaking turns and then ease us into a place of understanding and compassion. She also has a wonderful sense of humor and an uncanny eye for locating the absurd, prompting laughter where you least expect it. A terrific collection by a very talented writer." --Jill McCorkel, author of Life After Life and Going Away Shoes
"The Truth About Me is cleverly titled, as its author's capacious heart has room for a vast array of very different characters, each of whom receives the fully serious respect and sympathy in the telling of his or her story. In this way, every reader can find "me" here, not to mention truth. A very fine collection." --Antonya Nelson, author of Funny Once: Stories
