Published for the first time in 1994 and regularly re-edited and enhanced, True Stories returns again this year with six unpublished narratives related in Sophie Calle's familiar precise sober prose and photography. By turns serious, hilarious, dramatic or cruel, these real-life tales represent a form of work in progress recounting fragments of her life.

One of the 21st century's foremost artists, Calle here offers up her own story - childhood, marriage, sex, death - with brilliant humour, insight and pleasure.

Since the early 1970, Sophie Calle has created a number of exhibitions around the world. She has been described as a conceptual artist, photographer, video-artist and even detective and has developed her own distinct modus operandi, combining text and photography to tell of something deeply personal. She is considered one of the greatest artists of the 21st century.

Reviews for Sophie Calle: True Stories

"Many of the texts that appear in 'True Stories' are coolly evasive, and the overall impression is that of an exercise in self-mythology where the ""true"" self feels almost entirely absent, as if each recollection were a crime scene photograph in which Calle appeared only as a chalk outline.--Philippa Snow ""Bookforum"""
