Why Absolute Truth is Still Worth Pursuing In a Narrative-Driven World

2 months ago | crimereads.com | Dwyer Murphy

Here’s a notion we memoirists lean into and hard: there is no larger, objective truth. Call it absolute truth, forever absent. Call it the inconvenient truth. Call it the reality we all share—and can’t agree on. There are only our personal truths, which we hold to be self-evident. Article continues after advertisementIf possession is believed to be nine-tenths of the law, then perception is ten-tenths of the world. Perspective is everything, according to this thinking.

I refused to review the new John Grisham. (It's that bad.) Read 'Stolen Coast' instead

Oct 18, 2023 | kansascity.com | John Grisham |Dwyer Murphy

I'm supposed to be reviewing John Grisham's sequel to "The Firm," called "The Exchange," in this space. Instead I'm going to write about a thriller that's actually good. "The Exchange" is a baffling book. Mitch McDeere (played by Tom Cruise in the "Firm" movie) is back, 15 years after those events, but he never steps foot in a courtroom in Grisham's 49th novel, which is not even a legal thriller.
