In To Name the Bigger Lie, Sarah Viren “has pulled off a magic trick of fantastic proportion” (The Washington Post), telling the story of an all-too-real investigation into her personal and professional life that she expands into a profound exploration of the nature of truth. The memoir begins as Viren is researching what she believes will be a book about her high school philosophy teacher, a charismatic instructor who taught her and her classmates to question everything—eventually, even the reality of historical atrocities.

I wanted to love this book
Revisado: 07-18-23
Sarah Viren's story is in two parts. The first is about a teacher at her magnet high school program, and his strong personality and opinions that influenced her and some of her clasmates. The second is about her wife being falsely accused of sexual misconduct. I am fascinated by cults of personality and also by the ways we navigate this new world of access and accusations, so i preordered this book.
However, Ms. Viren's efforts to figure out how combine these two tales into one fell flat for me. It was never clear to me where the segments about her teacher and her high school were going, or why she looked her classmates up decades later. The second half of the book worked much better then the first, and the narrator did a fine job, but ultimately I gave up on this book.
