Fiction is a web of lies that attempts to entangle the truth. And autobiography may well be the reverse: data tricked up and rearranged to invent a fictive self.

More quotes by Nicholas Delbanco
The writer gleans wind scraps he listens wherever he can. Each day is full of instances what counts, as with all stimuli, is the sympathetic response.
Nicholas Delbanco
Jesmyn Ward returns to the world of her first two books, but here in the mode of non-fiction. A clear-eyed witness to the harrowing stories of 'men we reaped,' she quickens the dead and brings them, vividly alive again. An eloquent, grief-steeped account.
