An indispensable book by writers who have experienced firsthand the rewards and challenges of crafting a memoir

Anyone undertaking the project of writing a memoir knows that the events, memories, and emotions of the past often resist the orderly structure of a book. Inventing the Truth offers wisdom from nine notable memoirists about their process (Ian Frazier searched through generations of family papers to understand his parents' lives), the hurdles they faced (Annie Dillard tackles the central dilemma of memoir: what to put in and what to leave out), and the unexpected joys of bringing their pasts to the page. Featured authors include Russell Baker on Growing Up; Jill Ker Conway on The Road from Coorain; Annie Dillard on An American Childhood; Ian Frazier on Family; Henry Louis Gates Jr. on Colored People; Alfred Kazin on A Walker in the City; Frank McCourt on Angela's Ashes; Toni Morrison on Beloved; and Eileen Simpson on Poets in Their Youth.

Smells great and works great too!
Style: Spray (2 Oz)
Great sunscreen and smells fantastic. Not sticky or greasy feeling, but the bottle seems a bit small for the price. Took it to the beach for the 4th of July week and it was the first time I didn't come back with my "base burn". So it really works well. Great size for carry-on travel, but again a bit pricey for the amount you get.

Amazing smell amazing feel
Style: Spray (6 Oz)
Product arrived without damage! My absolute favorite sunscreen! If it’s ever on sale, I highly recommend trying as it’s not the most affordable. Never makes me feel greasy and is so lightweight! I never have breakouts with this either. Smell just adds to my obsession more too

This sunscreen smells so good. It sprays well and is the perfect size for vacationing with only a carryon.

Got through TSA. Perfect for traveling. I like the fact that it has a spray top. Perks is it smells really good while also protecting you. Overall enjoyed the product
