Even when I woke up in a hospital in India with no memory of the last few months and everything pointing to me being a traitor involved with some pretty dangerous people, I knew I could handle it. Then they kidnapped Charlotte-my little sister's best friend, and a control freak with a fear of commitment to anything but her ten-year plan. I can't remember what I've supposedly done, or who's trying to kill us.

Bringing Manning's truth-telling into conversation with democratic, feminist, and queer theory, the book argues that outsider truth-tellers such as Manning tell or enact unsettling truths from a position of social illegibility.
