The Factory of Facts
The Factory of Facts | Luc Sante
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
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. 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 Franoise 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. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Here's my #SnappleFact for today and it was Litsy worthy 😊

Texreader Nice! 7y
TommieMarie74 But now I need to know... what are dermatoglyphics, exactly? 7y
kaysworld1 @TommieMarie74 Dermatoglyphics: The study of the patterns of ridges on the skin of the fingers, palms, toes, and soles. Dermatoglyphics are of interest in anthropology, criminology, and medicine, including dysmorphology (the study of congenital malformations) and the study of chromosome abnormalities such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). I google it I was very curious also x 7y
TommieMarie74 That‘s very interesting. Who knew?!?! 😊 7y
