Two or Three Things I Know for Sure by Dorothy Allison

Two or Three Things I Know for Sure by Dorothy Allison

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.

Dorothy Allison is the author of the national bestselling novel Bastard Out of Carolina, which was a National Book Award finalist in 1992. She's also the author of Trash, a collection of short stories, and Cavedweller, a successful novel that was declared a New York Times Notable Book. She lives in Northern California and has won multiple accolades.
