The Truth Book
The Truth Book: A Memoir (New York: Arcade, 2005), was named a Book Sense Notable Book by the American Booksellers Association and was adapted and excerpted in The New York Times Magazine.
Adopted at birth by a family of Jehovah's Witnesses, Joy
Castro ran away at fourteen. Now a professor of literature,
she has written a literary
memoir that explores the fragile intersections of gender,
identity, sexuality, religion, violence, ethnicity, and the
body.
The Truth Book has been adopted as a text in courses
on autobiography, women's literature, creative nonfiction,
and women and psychology. |
