Opis

Katherine Anne Porter revealed only scant facts about her life and often gave conflicting accounts. She maintained, though, that a germ of her own experience lay at the core of everything she wrote. Unrue finds that Porter's deceptions were a screen for deep personal turmoil fuelled by multiple marriages, and babies lost to miscarriage, abortion, and stillbirth. Despite this, Porter (1890-1980) lived an extraordinary life that vaulted her from poverty and obscurity to wealth and fame. She experienced or observed many of the major events of the twentieth century and, when asked to summarize her own life, was fond of quoting Madame Du Barry: "My life has been incredible. I don't believe a word of it!"
