Four What Do Memoirists Owe the People They Write About? Five Why Write a Memoir? Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsArtful Truths is wonderful, beautifully written, consistently amusing, and very useful. De Bres unpacks all the philosophical and ethical questions imaginable surrounding the genre of memoir and charges fearlessly into accusations against the form, examining and dissecting each doubt before celebrating the genre with panache. How she is able to discuss the viewpoints of Kant or Nietzsche in such conversational language is a wonder, and the examples she invents to bring these sometimes abstruse matters to life are wryly amusing. --Phillip Lopate, author of The Art of The Personal Essay """Artful Truths is wonderful, beautifully written, consistently amusing, and very useful.
