Each attempted answer from Toews-all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer-surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, \u003ci\u003eA Truce That Is Not Peace\u003c\/i\u003e explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane-this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiriam Toews\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the bestselling novels \u003ci\u003eWomen Talking\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFight Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAll My Puny Sorrows\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSummer of My Amazing Luck\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Boy of Good Breeding\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Complicated Kindness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Flying Troutmans\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIrma Voth\u003c\/i\u003e, and the nonfiction work \u003ci\u003eSwing Low\u003c\/i\u003e.
