An indispensable book by writers who have experienced firsthand the rewards and challenges of crafting a memoir

Anyone undertaking the project of writing a memoir knows that the events, memories, and emotions of the past often resist the orderly structure of a book. Inventing the Truth offers wisdom from nine notable memoirists about their process (Ian Frazier searched through generations of family papers to understand his parents' lives), the hurdles they faced (Annie Dillard tackles the central dilemma of memoir: what to put in and what to leave out), and the unexpected joys of bringing their pasts to the page. Featured authors include Russell Baker on Growing Up; Jill Ker Conway on The Road from Coorain; Annie Dillard on An American Childhood; Ian Frazier on Family; Henry Louis Gates Jr. on Colored People; Alfred Kazin on A Walker in the City; Frank McCourt on Angela's Ashes; Toni Morrison on Beloved; and Eileen Simpson on Poets in Their Youth.

GREAT ORGANIZER!
Model: Pop up outlet-black
I got this to help clean up some of the cords around my office space, an organizer if you will. My husband built me an attachment for my desk without making alterations, and this helped clean up all the cords around my desk!!!! This thing works great! It would be best for an office desk with a built-in slot or as a replacement one for any office conference room!

Nice for cable management
Real metal so it is very sturdy and if you tighten your screw it will be very stable too. I out it next to my monitor mount which provide a nice setup for cable management. It fits perfectly to a VESA 100x100 mount. I have a similar setup in my office but under the desk which makes it versatile.

Fits HP G2 dock
I have this mounting an HP-G2 Dock on the back of my Samsung 28inch 4K monitor. I used an additional flat plate to mount this to the left with the monitor arm going the plate and into the monitor. So good I bought a second one for my co worker so our desk don't have wires on them now.
