Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Two or Three Things I Know for Sure by Dorothy Allison is a powerful and intimate memoir that blends personal narrative with social commentary. In this slim but deeply affecting work, Allison reflects on her life growing up poor, Southern, and queer, confronting themes of class, abuse, gender, sexuality, and resilience. Told through a series of lyrical vignettes and accompanied by family photographs, the book centers on the women in Allison s life especially her mother and sisters and the ways their stories shaped her identity and voice as a writer. With raw honesty and poetic clarity, she explores the pain of her past while affirming the power of truth-telling and survival. Both a personal testimony and a broader statement on the experiences of marginalized people, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure is a fierce, compassionate, and unforgettable meditation on love, strength, and the stories we claim as our own. Dorothy Allison is an acclaimed American author, poet, and feminist known for her powerful, emotionally raw writing that often explores themes of poverty, abuse, gender, sexuality, and Southern identity. Born in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1949, she grew up in a working-class family and has spoken openly about the challenges of her early life, including experiences with sexual abuse and growing up queer in a conservative environment. Allison rose to national prominence with her 1992 novel Bastard Out of Carolina, a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story about a young girl named Bone growing up in the rural South. The book was a finalist for the National Book Award and was later adapted into a film. It is widely praised for its unflinching honesty, lyrical prose, and exploration of trauma and resilience. She followed that with works like: Cavedweller (1998), a novel about a woman s return to her Southern hometown with her daughters. Two or Three Things I Know for Sure (1995), a memoir blending family history with personal reflection. Numerous short stories, essays, and poetry that focus on working-class life, lesbian identity, and feminist themes. Allison is also a prominent voice in feminist and LGBTQ+ literary circles, often highlighting the intersection of sexual identity and class struggle in her work. She has received multiple honors for her contributions to literature and activism.…
