I'll Tell You in Person

I'll Tell You in Person

by Chloé Caldwell

Published for the first time: 10/4/2016

208 pages, Paperback

Genres: Biography, Memoir, Nonfiction, Essays, LGBT, Queer, Short Stories

Flailing in jobs, failing at love, getting addicted and un-addicted to people, food, and drugs—I'll Tell You in Person is a disarmingly frank account of attempts at adulthood and all the less than perfect ways we get there. Caldwell has an unsparing knack for looking within and reporting back what's really there, rather than what she'd like you to see.
