Description

 							
  
  In essays written over the course
of more than a decade, Kathryn Harrison has created a beautifully detailed and rigorously honest family album. With
tenderness and wisdom, compassion and humor, Harrison writes about the things we don’t always discuss, casting
light on what lurks beneath the surface of everyday life, sifting through the artifacts of memory to find what haunts
and endures.
  
  Both serious and surprising, these essays capture the moments and impulses that shape a
family. In “Keeping Vigil,” Harrison reflects on the loss of her beloved father-in-law, and how he managed
to repair something her own father had broken. In “Holiday Lies,” she describes the uneasy but necessary
task of lying to her children about Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, withholding certain truths to protect their
innocence. In “Mini-Me,” she writes about how the birth of her youngest daughter—who used to pry open
a sleeping Harrison’s eyes—finally allowed her to understand her own mother’s complicated attitudes
about parenting. And in “True Crime,” Harrison writes for the first time in the almost two decades since the
publication of The Kiss about her affair with her father, and how she has reckoned with the girl she once was.
 

  With gorgeous prose and unflinching self-examination, True Crimes is a powerful and unforgettable literary tour
de force.
  
  PRAISE
  “I found myself mesmerized by [Kathryn] Harrison’s nervy
confessions: odd and idiosyncratic, as original as any personal disclosures I’ve read and yet not obviously
calculated for inflammatory effect. . . . Here, as in all of Harrison’s nonfiction, there’s a magnetic and
almost mystical weirdness roiling beneath a seemingly placid ­surface. . . . She is a writer of significant gifts. .
. . The intimacy, privacy and even the occasional insularity of these essays are precisely what grant them their curious
power.”—The New York Times Book Review
   
  “It’s hard to think of other memoirists
who match not just Harrison’s unsparing clarity of vision, but her empathy for both her loved ones and her
tormentors. . . . The book’s essays offer their own fragmentary approach to truth. They also offer us the chance
to learn that, when it comes to certain stories, this is the only kind of truth we can ever know. . . . Harrison is
doubly gifted: She is able both to see her world with painful clarity, and to share this clarity with
us.”—New Republic
   
  “Harrison is known for fearlessly pushing hot buttons most of us
dare not touch. Her memoir-in-essays, True Crimes, is revelatory in its honesty about everything from her scorching
childhood to the push and pull of marriage.”—More
   
  “Poignant, hilarious, and dramatic
. . . Harrison is mesmerizing in this set of linked essays as she matches the supple clarity and vital force of her
polished prose to stunning candor. . . . Harrison’s sterling and staggering essays of fear, psychotic
selfishness, abuse, betrayal, love, caregiving, and loyalty are resounding examples of how pain and anguish can be
alchemized into art.”—Booklist (starred review)
   
  “Potent . . . Harrison meditates on
family as unit and concept to highlight the pain, beauty, and complexity that necessarily features in such
relationships. . . . Her willingness to be vulnerable is awe-inspiring. That, combined with exacting, lyrical language,
make the collection hard to put down. Readers overcoming the psychic pain of their own traumatic pasts may find comfort
in these pages, a reminder that they are not alone.”—Library Journal (starred review)
  
 
“True Crimes, a memoir in essays, is a beautifully written and wonderful book about almost everything that means
anything in life: love, family, loss and betrayal, death, joy. It is heartbreaking, funny, direct, elliptical, and
somehow pulls a provocative healing thread of meaning from generation to generation, from husband to wife, and from life
to death to life again.”—Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D.
   
  “In these essays, Kathryn
Harrison approaches her own past as a mystery—at once elusive and unshakable—and excavates its nuances
with tender rigor. Her memories emerge less like artifacts and more like luminous veins of quicksilver, constantly
diverging and reconnecting. Her voice is charged by a capacious intuition that feels clear-eyed and sharply etched but
always generous, full of compassion for the family that raised her and the damage they did. There is difficulty in these
pages, along with playfulness, wonder, and deep wisdom about how we love, how we harm, and how intertwined these forms
of intimacy might be.”—Leslie Jamison
   
  “With its sharp, haunting portraits, this
gorgeous and unsettling book is like the most honest family album ever. Kathryn Harrison is not afraid to plumb the
darkness of family life, to look at the rage, panic, and resentments entangled with love: Her reminiscences are vivid
and unforgettable.”—Katie Roiphe
   
  “Kathryn Harrison is known as a strong
writer—frank, unsentimental, her tough-minded prose daring us to doubt its honesty. True Crimes is true to form,
scorchingly candid but also tender: She writes about her marriage, her children, her in-laws, her mother—even her
dog—with love, knowing how necessary that emotion is, and how elusive.”—James Atlas
