Description: "Moving through a variety of locales and adventures, The Truth About Marie revisits the unnamed narrator of Jean-Philippe Toussant's acclaimed Running Away, reporting on his now disintegrated relationship with the titular Marie--the story switching deftly between first and third person as the narrator continues to drift through life, and Marie does her best to get on with hers."--P. [4] of cover.
