From Kirkus Reviews:"[Zevy's] debut short story collection offers whimsical, mostly true tales of his life as as a child of Egyptian Jews in Canada…. But this book, consisting of 34 tales, isn’t exclusively autobiographical. A man named Harold Goldfarb headlines a series of hysterical stories, which see him meticulously plotting his suicide—this turns out to be less morbid than it sounds—and, later, struggling to decipher the meaning of a coconut emoji in a cryptic text… Zevy writes in an easygoing style that’s both polished and seemingly improvised. When discussing a woman who plays a significant role in one of his tales, he writes: “I kinda feel bad I don’t know her name. I am going to ask Steve before I finish this story.” Complementing the author’s humor is earnestness, particularly when writing about his charming parents, as in “My Mother” and “Photographs.” Zevy adds some of his personal photos as well. Heartfelt and droll tales that blend autobiography and fiction.”- Kirkus Reviewsfrom Midwest Book Review:"Almost the Truth: Stories and Lies is uniformly one of the more creative, satisfyingly reads of 2020. Readers who enjoy wry humor and life observations that depart from any anticipated pathway will delight in Aaron Zevy's collection, which is often politically or culturally incorrect in delightful ways."-Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer"To read Zevy is not only to get lost in his often hilarious and unexpected tales, but to be given a front row seat on the nature and art of storytelling itself.”-Jules LewisAuthor of Waiting for Ricky Tantrum (Dundurn Press)“Incredibly entertaining! I read one story after another. As soon as I put it down, my husband grabbed it. Rather than fight over it, we read it aloud to each other. A great way to spend an afternoon.”5-star Goodreads Review"Reading Zevy is like having the good fortune of pulling up a barstool next to a master storyteller- and you don’t have to leave your house."5-star Amazon ReviewFrom the Publisher:Amost the Truth: Stories and Lies is a collection of memoirs, short stories, and recollections which crackle with wit, brazen sentimentality, and unfiltered self awareness. The stories blur the line between fact and fiction leaving the reader wondering what is real and what is not. Characters from the short stories pop up in family recollections and friends make guest appearances in the short stories. These crossovers become increasingly compelling as the more you read the more you realize these seemingly stand alone pieces are inter connected. There is a tip of the hat to the curmudgeonry of Larry David, self deprecation of Woody Allen, and self awareness of David Sedaris, but Zevy’s voice and humor is unique and very much his own. After all, you shouldn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. “The book is a breath of fresh air, offered in a period where we all need that. Very highly recommended. 5-star Amazon Review

Canadian author Aaron Levy bounces onto the literary scene with a unique blend of fact and fiction he shares in this memoir of his life to date – a collection of stories that are at once hilarious and endearing. As he states, ‘I have tried to recreate certain events, locales and conversations from my memoires of them…and then I embellish as is my way…Do not assume anything in this book is true or accurate…’ That zest pervades every page of this remarkably fine new volume.In his Introduction Aaron states, ‘If I wanted to be a memoirist, I really don’t have very much going for me. I am not an alcoholic. I am not a recovering alcoholic. I am not a drug addict. I am not a recovering drug addict. My parents were neither alcoholics nor drug addicts. They did not beat me or abuse me. I did not grow up very poor. I was not the youngest of twelve children. I am not from Appalachia. I am not from Ireland. I am not a gay man in a straight world. I am not a black man in a white world. I am not a woman in a man’s world. I did not escape from a war-ravaged land. I was not smuggled into this country. My parents were not hippies. I am not a stranger in a strange land. I did not discover anything. I have not won a Nobel Prize. I am not a famous actor, athlete or musician. I am certainly not a famous writer. I am not a famous anything. Nor am I infamous. I did not rob a bank or a train. I am not on the lam. I am, to be fair, a Jew. But not from the Warsaw Ghetto, the former Soviet Union, or pre-independence Jerusalem. I am, for God’s sake, from Canada. At the end of the day, all I am is a little weird. So this is not a memoir. It is just a slim collection of some of the things I think might have happened in my life so far. As best as I can remember. Or as best as I can fabricate.’If any reader can absorb the above without appreciating the extensive references to the best memoirs of literature, then tap into the library! This book is so beautifully scribed that following Aaron Levy’s thoughts about his past life and experiences and relationships and travels becomes a near cinematic experience – a deft mixture of comedy and human responses to life as perceived or ‘illustrated’ with imagination and fantasy. And there are photographic images that insert reality into the meanderings. His life is rich in the art of living, and it is that précis that makes this unique book luminous and unforgettable. This book is a breath of fresh air, offered during a period when we all need that! Very highly recommended. Grady Harp, June 20
