The book’s jacket copy calls it, “Clever and bold and radically honest to an unthinkable degree,” and my only response is that I couldn’t have said it better myself, writes John Warner.
"The Fates Will Find Their Way,""We Are Too Many: A Memoir [Kind of]" and"Listen to Me" by Hannah Pittard.One is that I try not to write about books that aren’t already released and available to the public. Having been greatly irritated by reviews that tout a book that won’t be out for a number of weeks , I have no wish to visit that irritation on anyone else.
The other guideline I’m going to break is giving any credence to a book’s jacket copy, which is often larded with hyperbole, an advertisement not to be trusted. But in this case, that copy calls the book, “Clever and bold and radically honest to an unthinkable degree,” and my only response is that I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Her follow-up, “Reunion,” is equally powerful, another story of absence, as the plot revolves around the sudden death of the narrator’s father and the family secrets that are revealed as they gather to lay the man to rest. “We Are Too Many” opens with a series of dialogues — some real, some remembered and some invented — which often mix humor and sadness in the span of several lines. In some ways, they read like an interrogation Pittard is conducting of her husband and her best friend, but Pittard is just as likely to turn the lens on herself as she wrestles with loving the two people who betrayed her.
