<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The acclaimed author of Low Life reinvents the memoir in a cunning, lyrical book that is at once a personal history and a meditation on the construction of identity. <p/>Born in Belgium but raised in New Jersey, Luc Sante transformed himself from a pious, timid Belgian boy into a loutish American adolescent, who eschewed French while fantasizing about the pop star Françoise Hardy. To show how this transformation came about--and why it remained incomplete--The Factory of Facts combines family anecdote and ancestral legend; detailed forays into Belgian history, language, and religion; and deft synopses of the American character.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Sante has a historian's fiendish taste for information. . . a journalist's wit, resourcefulness and love of idiosyncracy." --The New York Times Book Review <p/>"Remarkable. . . . Sante makes a reader want to know him." --The Boston Globe<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Luc Sante is the author of Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York and Evidence. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books, a book critic for New York magazine, and a senior contributor to Slate. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
