Astra Papachristodoulou recommends I Confess by Eric Schmaltz and says: Eric Schmaltz's I Confess is an exploration of performative utterances -- an extensive poly graph that delves between truth and lies, memories and fantasy, that "unfurl in the festering of a wound".

Next is Astra Papachristodoulou's pick: I Confess by Eric Schmaltz (Coach House Books). Thank you, Astra!
