Too Good to Be True: A Memoir
The memoir has already amassed a large collection of critical praise:
“Too Good to Be True is smart and honest and searching…so plaintive and raw that most writers (and many readers) will finish it with heart palpitations.”– Dwight Garner, New York Times
“The failure is real, the voice is raw, the story is haunting.” -Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom
“In this taut memoir, Anastas writes about his admittedly colossal failures and the myriad indignities of poverty, such as what it feels like to be pursued at all hours by debt collectors or having to pay tribute to a Coinstar machine just to buy food for your son. The train wreck (and it is a grisly one) isn’t the only compelling thing here, however, since Anastas can craft a world-class sentence.” – The Daily Beast, “Hot Reads”
To celebrate the launch, Anastas will be discussing Too Good to Be True with esteemed novelist Margot Livesey on October 24th, 2012 from 7-9 pm at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA.
The event is free, and cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
