Bastard Out of Carolina, nominated for the 1992 National Book
Award for fiction, introduced Dorothy Allison as one of the most
passionate and gifted writers of her generation. Now, in Two or
Three Things I Know for Sure, she takes a probing look at her
family's history to give us a lyrical, complex memoir that explores
how the gossip of one generation can become legends for the next.
Illustrated with photographs from the author's personal collection,
Two or Three Things I Know for Sure tells the story of the
Gibson women -- sisters, cousins, daughters, and aunts -- and the
men who loved them, often abused them, and, nonetheless, shared
their destinies. With luminous clarity, Allison explores how desire
surprises and what power feels like to a young girl as she
confronts abuse.
As always, Dorothy Allison is provocative, confrontational, and
brutally honest. Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, steeped
in the hard-won wisdom of experience, expresses the strength of
her unique vision with beauty and eloquence.
