Calle's projects have frequently drawn on episodes from her own life, but this book—part visual memoir, part meditation on the resonances of photographs and belongings—is as close as she has come to producing an autobiography, albeit one highly poetical and fragmentary, as is characteristic of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tales—never longer than a page—are by turns lighthearted, humorous, serious, dramatic or cruel. Each is accompanied by an image; each offers a fragment of life. Calle herself is the author, narrator and protagonist of her stories and photography. Her words are sombre, chosen precisely and carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShe offers up her own memories—childhood, marriage, sex and death—with brilliant humour, insight and pleasure. By turns serious, hilarious, dramatic or cruel, these real-life stories represent a form of work in progress recounting fragments of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46833480958188,"sku":"9782330182465","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17796223483017.jpg?v=1758462685","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sophie-calle-true-stories-new-edition-by-sophie-calle-9782330182465","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
