I'M TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT I'M LYING: ESSAYS

I'M TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT I'M LYING: ESSAYS

Ikpi, Bassey

In I’m Telling the Truth, but I’m Lying Bassey Ikpi explores her life—as a Nigerian-American immigrant, a black woman, a slam poet, a mother, a daughter, an artist—through the lens of her mental health and diagnosis of bipolar II and anxiety. Her remarkable memoir in essays implodes our preconceptions of the mind and normalcy as Bassey bares her own truths and lies for us all to behold with radical honesty and brutal intimacy.
