Description

Who really knows who you are? Your spouse? Your closest friend? People don't generally reveal who they really are for various reasons, but this book tries to tell who John H. Williams is, mainly so his grandchildren and great-grandchildren will have the detailed account he would have liked his own ancestors to have left. Trite but True is a memoir in the form of eighty personal essays inspired by the sixteenth-century French author Michel de Montaigne. Spoiler Alert! They lack both the genius and length of Montaigne's essays, but brevity is perhaps their saving grace. Each is but two pages long and reflects on matters that have either shaped the author's life or caught his attention over the years. "What sort of topics?" you ask. Everything from absentmindedness to sex, from the Bible to slingshots, and from Epicureanism to turtles. If you are a baby boomer or have parents from that generation, Trite but True will either bring back fond memories or help you understand a generation raised in the 1950s or early 1960s. This book contemplates one man's life and offers readers a few observations he has made about the human condition in general. While it does not propose to be a fount of wisdom, it does promise to be honest and candid. What more of a memoir can you ask?
