Non-Fiction Memoir
“Half my life ago, I killed a girl.” So begins Darin Strauss’ Half a Life, the true story
of how one outing in his father’s Oldsmobile resulted in the
death of a classmate and the beginning of a different,
darker life for the author. We follow Strauss as he explores
his startling past—collision, funeral, the queasy drama of a
high-stakes court case—and what starts as a personal tale of
a tragic event opens into the story of how to live with a
very hard fact: we can try our human best in the crucial
moment, and it might not be good enough. Half a Life
is a nakedly honest, ultimately hopeful examination of
guilt, responsibility, and living with the past.
