#Thestory of a boy becoming involved in a wonderful book he‘s reading.

I'm a sucker for metafiction like this novel where how to tell a story IS #thestory.

This is #thestory of Nancy Rudolph, the “jezebel of W Va,” who was accused of assisting her brother in law with infanticide.

I don‘t remember reading this one besides the fact that I loved it. #lilithjuly

#lilithjuly @Cinfhen @KarenUK This reporter finds herself #thestory when she becomes the target of a stalker.

Lots of jokes before page 1, huh Mr. Chabon?
This isn't quite as metafictional as it sounds going in, but it is a phony memoir in the vein of Roth's Operation Shylock. The key difference is, instead of Chabon going on some kind of crazy adventure, he's relaying #thestory of his grandparents, as told to him by his dying grandfather. Like the other Chabon's I've read, I didn't gobble this up, just savored every word. Thanks for the rec @Cinfhen !

I've had this book on my to read list for a while. I love when authors are able to write a book on their life story (or a family member) - even when it seems like you are reading a fiction book. There are so many life stories from the past that make for an intriguing read. Hopefully I can read this story soon.

This was one of the most unexpected stories I had had heard about recent times. That there could be a hermit living in the woods in this technological age was fascinating.

This isn‘t just #thestory, this is the overstory.

I bought this last month and hope to read it soon
