{"product_id":"goldsmith-steve-elba-kramer-9798233841743","title":"Elba Kramer","description":"Elba Kramer tells the story of his first seventeen years the only way he knows how: through a mask. From a childhood spent dodging the heavy truths of small-town America to the pivotal moment he dropped out, became a father, and sought refuge in the military-this is a life lived in the blur between memory and invention.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten as an autobiographical novel, this story reaches for an emotional honesty that only a pseudonym could provide. It is a memoir built on a paradox: that sometimes, we have to lie about our names to tell the truth about our lives.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTold in a voice that's by turns funny, furious, and disarmingly tender, Elba Kramer invites you to wander the landscape of a jagged youth. It is a story where every exaggeration hides a secret, and every truth has teeth.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA Note from the Author: I wrote this book under the name Elba Kramer because I found it impossible to tell the story as myself. While the name on the cover is a fabrication, the experiences within-from birth to my seventeenth year-are 97% true. This is the story of how I became a man, a father, an airman, an officer, and a writer... told through the only lens that allowed me to be completely honest. It is a confession disguised as a lie.","brand":"Steve Goldsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53818572702038,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/goldsmith-steve-elba-kramer-9798233841743","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
