Descriere magazin:
The True.The Memory Series A Trilogy of Ghosts is a composite of three books called The True . In 2019, world-renowned Romanian theater director Alexandru Darie died, the newsshocking the creative world. Bringing Darie and Romania vividly to life, The True also tells the story of one courageous woman’s cutting through a con artist’s web oflies that mirror global corruption. The True is a hybrid of memoir, true crime, autofiction. Editura Integral is publishingthe book in three languages (Romanian, English, and French). The True will have arolling launch (October 28, 2021 for the Romanian and English. November 25, 2021 for the French) with the box-set of all three books released December 9th, 2021. Thebox-set is titled The True: A Trilogy of Ghosts. The book has three different endings,each translation an extension of the chaos of Kornfeld’s experience. Kornfeld and Darie had been lovers in the 1990s but remained very close friendsafter breaking up. When he died, Kornfeld went to Romania to search for the reasonfor his death. It was there she met a young Romanian woman who claimed to havebeen Darie’s girlfriend. Over a two-year period, Kornfeld wrote a book about Darie’sdeath, signed deals with Netflix and Disney for scripts about Darie (and otherprojects), all to devastatingly discover she had been deeply misled by a con artist.Readers of Anne Carson, Claudia Rankine, and Chris Kraus will love The True . In apost-truth world where objective standards for truth are disappearing, The True limnsthe slippage between facts, opinion, and belief. Informed by her early life within theexperimental theater of downtown New York, Kornfeld draws on a wellspring oflanguage from Molière to Patti Smith, Beckett to Maria Irene Fornes, and theintimacy of defiant theater friends and family. The True is Sarah Kornfeld’s personal exploration of grief and loss. What begins as an examinationof a long ago love affair masterfully propels into a page turning thriller. Raised in the theater worldKornfeld plays right into the theatrics finding herself center stage struggling to decipher fact fromfiction. A hauntingly beautiful tale of love, loss, politics and art that dares us all not to look awayfrom our own disillusionment. Culminating with a crash and return that reveals while the worldperhaps is not as grand as it once was, love even in death, may be the only truth that lives on -Courtney B. Vance, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Actor and Producer Sarah Kornfeld’s The True is a gorgeously written twentyfirst century postmodern literary workconvincing us that we only truly know where we are when on the wrong side of the looking glass.Passion, politics, lust, and theater drag us between the surreal and the real, on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a “now” age romancepolitical thriller. Kornfeld forces us to weigh what we hate against love, or at least find the middle ground between them, in order to fully live. - September Williams, MD, Filmmaker, Author of the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy Storytelling is a contract of trust between speaker and listener - the promise that the suspension ofdisbelief will be rewarded with deeper truths encoded in fiction. But "in this time of virtual lives",Kornfeld warns, such trust is easier to manipulate than ever, and the magic of theater degenerates intopropaganda and psychosis. (…)Kornfeld is humbled to discover how anyone, regardless of political beliefs or intellectualsophistication, can cling to wishful thinking as a defense against personal and historical trauma. The True is a funny, tragic, essential cautionary tale for our posttruth era. -Jendi Reiter, Author of An Incomplete List of My Wishes: Stories Intimate, funny and pageturning, The True simultaneously expresses the ways in which we arehaunted by memory and the ways we continue to con ourselves. What starts out as a love story thattranscends time becomes a paean to the world of theater set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and crumbling Romania. This book has ever
