Musings on Memoirs and Some Upcoming Fiction

Recently there has been much discussion on the veracity of memoirs. David Sedaris, I think, says it best: "A memoir is the last place you'd expect to find the truth."
His latest book is When You Are Engulfed in Flames. The Fremont Public Library has 5 copies of the book, one of which is a best seller copy. The library also has the book on CD.
Some upcoming fiction for the months of July and August: Lawrence Block's Hit and Run; Edna Buchanan's Legally Dead; Ethan Canin's America, America; Tana French's The Likeness; Nora Roberts' Tribute; Stephen Coonts' Assassin; Stephen Frey's Forced Out; Faye Kellerman's The Mercedes Coffin; Kathy Reichs' Devil Bones. You may place holds on these titles, and some may be available in large print. Contact the library staff at 847-918-3225.
