Getting Redacted

Parts of every honest life end up under the black bar. Some are censored by shame, some by other people, some by the simple wish to be easier to read. The redactions keep the document tidy. They also keep it from being true.

Getting Redacted is about what disappears from the record of a person, who holds the marker, and what it costs to publish yourself unabridged. A book for everyone who has ever been the clean version of their own story and missed the rest of it.
