Sarah Manguso Unveils her New Novel "Liars" at Skylight Books: Myriam Gurba in conversation
Acclaimed author Sarah Manguso has once again captivated readers with her latest release, “Liars”.
Known for her sharp prose and introspective narratives, Manguso's newest work explores the complex themes of truth, deception, and the often, murky line that separates the two. A master of probing the human condition, Manguso delves deep into the stories we tell ourselves and the narratives we construct to navigate our world.
The Los Angeles literary community was abuzz as Manguso hosted a launch event at the iconic Skylight Books. The intimate evening featured a compelling conversation between Manguso and the event’s moderator, fellow local author, Myriam Gurba, whose insightful questions touched on the heart of the book’s themes, love, marriage and divorce. The discussion also explored being honest in human relationships and the psychological layers behind the truths we cling to and the lies we live with.
In “Liars”, Manguso continues to challenge readers with her boundary-pushing style. Each page is a careful dissection of personal and collective truths, delivered with Manguso's trademark economy of words and profound insight that pushes beyond the surface, asking hard questions about the nature of authenticity and self-deception in relationships.
The event at Skylight Books offered attendees a rare glimpse into Manguso's writing process and her motivations behind the book.
