The Truth About Facts

An A-to-Z compendium that finds the wonder in information overload.

The Truth About Facts makes intimate the seeming noise of
information and facts by using the tradition of the alphabet book to get
back to basics: to make room for wonder, devotion, and a reinvigorated
role for poetry in both quick and methodological thought. Vautour leads
his readers on an info-drenched, abecedarian jaunt that is both
tongue-in-cheek and unquestionably earnest. Ranging from topics as
assorted as Brazil Nuts and Juggling to meditations on Rememoration and
the Zodiac, The Truth About Facts moves between the surety of aphorism and the anxieties of critique.

"If, like me, you find yourself randomly clicking through Wikipedia
articles late into the night, you will love this delightful ramble
through the facts."—Sachiko Murakami
