The True.The Memory Series A Trilogy of Ghosts is a composite of three books called The True . In 2019, world-renowned Romanian theater director Alexandru Darie died, the newsshocking the creative world. Bringing Darie and Romania vividly to life, The True also tells the story of one courageous woman&rsquo
s cutting through a con artist&rsquo
s web oflies that mirror global corruption. The True is a hybrid of memoir, true crime, autofiction. Editura Integral is publishingthe book in three languages (Romanian, English, and French). The True will have arolling launch (October 28, 2021 for the Romanian and English. November 25, 2021 for the French) with the box-set of all three books released December 9th, 2021. Thebox-set is titled The True: A Trilogy of Ghosts. The book has three different endings,each translation an extension of the chaos of Kornfeld&rsquo
s experience. Kornfeld and Darie had been lovers in the 1990s but remained very close friendsafter breaking up. When he died, Kornfeld went to Romania to search for the reasonfor his death. It was there she met a young Romanian woman who claimed to havebeen Darie&rsquo
s girlfriend. Over a two-year period, Kornfeld wrote a book about Darie&rsquo
sdeath, signed deals with Netflix and Disney for scripts about Darie (and otherprojects), all to devastatingly discover she had been deeply misled by a con artist.Readers of Anne Carson, Claudia Rankine, and Chris Kraus will love The True . In apost-truth world where objective standards for truth are disappearing, The True limnsthe slippage between facts, opinion, and belief. Informed by her early life within theexperimental theater of downtown New York, Kornfeld draws on a wellspring oflanguage from Moliè
re to Patti Smith, Beckett to Maria Irene Fornes, and theintimacy of defiant theater friends and family. The True is Sarah Kornfeld&rsquo
s personal exploration of grief and loss. What begins as an examinationof a long ago love affair masterfully propels into a page turning thriller. Raised in the theater worldKornfeld plays right into the theatrics finding herself center stage struggling to decipher fact fromfiction. A hauntingly beautiful tale of love, loss, politics and art that dares us all not to look awayfrom our own disillusionment. Culminating with a crash and return that reveals while the worldperhaps is not as grand as it once was, love even in death, may be the only truth that lives on -Courtney B. Vance, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Actor and Producer Sarah Kornfeld&rsquo
s The True is a gorgeously written twentyfirst century postmodern literary workconvincing us that we only truly know where we are when on the wrong side of the looking glass.Passion, politics, lust, and theater drag us between the surreal and the real, on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a &ldquo
now&rdquo
age romancepolitical thriller. Kornfeld forces us to weigh what we hate against love, or at least find the middle ground between them, in order to fully live. - September Williams, MD, Filmmaker, Author of the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy Storytelling is a contract of trust between speaker and listener - the promise that the suspension ofdisbelief will be rewarded with deeper truths encoded in fiction. But "
in this time of virtual lives"
,Kornfeld warns, such trust is easier to manipulate than ever, and the magic of theater degenerates intopropaganda and psychosis. (&hellip
)Kornfeld is humbled to discover how anyone, regardless of political beliefs or intellectualsophistication, can cling to wishful thinking as a defense against personal and historical trauma. The True is a funny, tragic, essential cautionary tale for our posttruth era. -Jendi Reiter, Author of An Incomplete List of My Wishes: Stories Intimate, funny and pageturning, The True simultaneously expresses the ways in which we arehaunted by memory and the ways we continue to con ourselves. What starts out as a love story thattranscends time becomes a paean to the world of theater set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and crumbling Romania. This book has everything: romance, Ceausescu, Diana Ross. Interwoventhroughout, the terror and pathos of being Jewish in Europe. The long tail of the Holocaust, the(c)overt antisemitism that still comprises common parlance. What does it mean to be a Jew searching for a Jew? What is Jewish identity? What is identity? Kornfeld&rsquo
s lucid prose cuts close to the heartand lends an immediacy to the whole crazy story as we watch everything unravel. The downwardspiral has such a tentacular pull. I couldn&rsquo
t put the book down! -Emily Stone, Author of Did Jew Know The True evocatively limns the insubstantiality of the &ldquo
they&rdquo
: the vestiges of the self and multitude in the virtual realm
the hauntings of the living and the dead, of the past, present, and future, of the realversus the unreal
the liminality of lyings to oneself, of identity creation and fraud in many iterations.Here, the present is as mysterious as the future is uncertain, the past interrogatively tincturingeverything. Memoir, mystery, and doubleKü
nstlerroman collide and blur as the text deeply engagesRomanian political and social histories and their intertwinings, moreover time and timing, the art ofcreation, the reel and unreal of real life, of people as shadows, shadows as people.Evocatively navigating readers within, through, and past the "
frozen falseness&rdquo
of unfamiliar placesand spaces, gardens that &ldquo
smell of death&rdquo
, the desert of desertion, the "
wet loss of time&rdquo
, the "
broken,craven, honest edges (of death)&rdquo
, you paint portraits of a troubled confidence woman, and a(mis)leading man from &ldquo
everywhere&rdquo
, you, like him, listening to and ventriloquizing voices withinand without. Have I mentioned the engaging intertextuality (Bulgakov, Shakespeare, and Moliè
re),and your marvelous miniatures of cities (Bucharest, New York City, and San Francisco)? &ldquo
We were the madness&rdquo
, &ldquo
death can make you cleave to life&rdquo
, &ldquo
What if nothing was real?&rdquo
you knowingly write.Matryoshka doll or mise enabî
me or both, The True: A Trilogy of Ghosts is a haunting, and, like thebest hauntings, is as moving as it is harrowing. - John Madera, Editor, Big Other The True is a compelling, troubling, and painfully honest story about the world we live in now - aworld of fake news and alternative facts in which we believe what we want to believe and ignore ordeny those nagging voices that tell us otherwise. It&rsquo
s also a story about theatre - that most ancient art ofdissembling
a world of artifice in which nothing is quite what it seems, but where deception isdeployed in search of profound truths. And it is also a story about Romania, and about the twistedwestern view of that troubled eastern nation. Our narrator travels there in search of her undead lover,with Bucharest standing in for Transylvania, and bloodsuckers lurking at every turn. But inKornfeld&rsquo
s deftly woven tale, there is sympathy even for the devil. The True lures the reader in withits dark poetry, and then refuses to let us go. - Stephen Scott-Bottoms,author of Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off Broadway Movement Sarah Kornfeld is an American writer born and raised in the experimental theater of New York City,where she performed with The Bread and Puppet Theater, Judson Poets Theater, and The RidiculousTheatrical Company. She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and received professional trainingat The Royal Court Theater in London. Her play, The Lovedeath of Clowns was produced atthe Theater For The New City in New York. Her debut novel, What Stella Sees was publishedby Cove International Publishers in 2018 and received high praise in the United States and the UnitedKingdom.
