When he died, Kornfeld went to Romania to search for the reason for his death. It was there she met a young Romanian woman who claimed to have been Darie's girlfriend. Over a two-year period, Kornfeld wrote a book about Darie's death, signed deals with Netflix and Disney for scripts about Darie (and other projects), all to devastatingly discover she had been deeply misled by a con artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders of Anne Carson, Dave Eggers, Claudia Rankine, and Chris Kraus will love \u003cem\u003eThe True\u003c\/em\u003e.

What begins as an examination of a long-ago love affair masterfully propels into a page-turning thriller. Raised in the theater world Kornfeld plays right into the theatrics finding herself center stage struggling to decipher fact from fiction. A hauntingly beautiful tale of love, loss, politics, and art that dares us all not to look away from our own disillusionment.
