This is definitely a brick at 901 pages thick. And, once finished, it felt like it was missing as many.

The story is of two identically twinned brothers, one of whom is diagnosed schizophrenic. The title is very apt… and is one of the most difficult things any of us can actually articulate. “I know this much is true”… most of us end before even beginning. But, a 901 page search for what exactly that is, is an incredible journey.
