About the Book

In 2019, world-renowned Romanian theater director Alexandru Darie died, the news that shocked the creative world. Bringing Darie and Romania vividly to life, The True also tells the story of one courageous woman's cutting through a con artist's web of lies that mirror global corruption.
The True is a hybrid of memoir, true crime, autofiction and identifies as narrative non-fiction. Editura Integral is publishing the book in three languages (Romanian, English, and French). The True will have a rolling launch (October 28, 2021, for the Romanian and English. November 25, 2021, for the French) with the box-set of all three books released December 9th, 2021. The box-set is titled The True: A Trilogy of Ghosts. The book has three different endings, each translation an extension of the chaos of Kornfeld's experience. This version available on Amazon is the English version.
Kornfeld and Darie had been lovers in the 1990s but remained very close friends after breaking up. When he died, Kornfeld went to Romania to search for the reason for his death. It was there she met a young Romanian woman who claimed to have been Darie's girlfriend. Over a two-year period, Kornfeld wrote a book about Darie's death, signed deals with Netflix and Disney for scripts about Darie (and other projects), all to devastatingly discover she had been deeply misled by a con artist.
Readers of Anne Carson, Dave Eggers, Claudia Rankine, Marguerite Duras, and Chris Kraus will love The True. In a post-truth world where objective standards for truth are disappearing, The True limns the slippage between facts, opinion, and belief. Informed by her early life within the experimental theater of downtown New York, Kornfeld draws on a wellspring of language from Molière to Patti Smith, Beckett to Maria Irene Fornes, and the intimacy of defiant theater friends, family, and ghosts.

PRAISE FOR THE TRUE

THE TRUE is Sarah Kornfeld's personal exploration of grief and loss. What begins as an examination of a long ago
love affair masterfully propels into a page turning thriller. A hauntingly beautiful tale of love,
loss, politics and art that dares us all not to look away from our own disillusionment.

-Courtney B. Vance, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Actor and Producer

Sarah Kornfeld's THE TRUE is a gorgeously written twenty-first century postmodern literary work convincing us
that we only truly know where we are when on the wrong side of the looking glass. Passion, politics, lust, and theater drag us between the surreal and the real, on both sides of the Atlantic. This is a 'now'-age romance-political thriller.

-September Williams, author of the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy

THE TRUE is a funny, tragic, essential cautionary tale for our post-truth era.

-Jendi Reiter, author of An Incomplete List of My Wishes: Stories; and editor of Winning Writers

THE TRUE is a compelling, troubling, and painfully honest story about the world we live in now-a world of fake
news and alternative facts in which we believe what we want to believe and ignore or deny those nagging voices that
tell us otherwise. The True lures the reader in with its dark poetry, and then refuses to let us go.

-Stephen Scott-Bottoms, author of Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off
Broadway Movement
