Publisher's Note
In Two or Three Things I Know for Sure, Dorothy Allison takes a probing look at her family's history to give us a lyrical, complex memoir that explores how the gossip of one generation can become legends for the next. Illustrated with photographs from the author's personal collection, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure tells the story of the Gibson women - sisters, cousins, daughters, and aunts - and the men who loved them, often abused them, and, nonetheless, shared their destinies.

Industry reviews
"[It] reads like an illustrated author's note to Ms. Allison's novel, BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA....She...explores the differences between her family and the fictions she has created, as well as the distinctions between those stories that save lives and those that stunt. Ms. Allison is at her most powerful here when she ponders the uses and limits of fiction in a world where truth can be the most brutal story of all."
New York Times Book Review - Anndee Hochman (08/13/1995)

"Elegant and raw, as fine and delicate as a tear, as hard and unyielding as a diamond."
Johnson
