DARIN STRAUSS |
"Half my life ago, I killed a girl," writes noted novelist Darin Strauss in his new memoir, Half a Life (McSweeney's). First told on NPR's This American Life, Half a Life is the story of the author's having accidentally hit, and killed, his high school classmate in a car/bicycle collision, and his slow coming to terms with what followed. "At the center of this elegant, painful, stunningly honest memoir thrums a question fundamental to what it means to be human: What do we do with what we've been given? What is truly exceptional here is watching a writer of fine fiction probe, directly, carefully and with great humility, the source from which his fiction springs." - Dani Shapiro, The New York Times Book Review. Darin Strauss' books include the novels Chang and Eng and More Than It Hurts You.
