مستخلص: The article focuses on New Zealand-Australian author Ruth Park's exploration of truth in life-writing and storytelling in her memoirs, examining how her self-representation evolved over decades. Topics include her reflections on the Sydney Morning Herald Prize controversy; her use of omission in memoirs like "The Drums Go Bang!" to shape narratives; and her later work in "Fishing in the Styx," where she adopted a more candid approach to legacy-building and revealing withheld truths.
