Dorothy Allison     1995     94p     5 x 8

“Illustrated with photographs from the author’s personal collection, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure tells the story of the Gibson women—sisters, cousins, daughters, and aunts—and the men who loved them, often abused them, and, nonetheless, shared their destinies. With luminous clarity, Allison explores how desire surprises and what power feels like to a young girl as she confronts abuse. As always, Dorothy Allison is provocative, confrontational, and brutally honest. Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, steeped in the hard-won wisdom of experience, expresses the strength of her unique vision with beauty and eloquence.”
