ISBN: 9780571210503.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe requirement for selection was that each of the stories should be true, and each of the writers should not have been previously published. The collection that has emerged provides a richly varied and authentic voice for the American people, whose lives, loves, griefs, regrets, joys and sense of humour are vividly and honestly recounted throughout, and adeptly organised by Auster into themed sections. The section composed of war stories stretches as far back as the Civil War, still the defining moment in American history; while the sequence of Meditations concludes the volume with a true and abiding sense of transcendence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256160837685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0571210503","price":92.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571210503_a7f26558-dd92-499d-b70f-6ed250846200.jpg?v=1779938369","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/true-tales-of-american-life-9780571210503","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
