  The Tu Quoque Fallacy -...

  The Tu Quoque fallacy, often referred to as the "appeal to hypocrisy," is a form of argumentation where an individual deflects criticism by accusing the accuser of the same flaw or wrongdoing. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, the person making this fallacious argument focuses on the accuser’s behavior, thereby shifting the attention away from the original issue. This technique is often employed to avoid dealing with uncomfortable truths and to undermine the credibility of the person making the accusation. While the Tu Quoque fallacy may seem like a valid rebuttal in certain situations, it is inherently flawed because it does not address the merit of the argument but instead aims to discredit the opponent by pointing out their perceived hypocrisy. 
  The term "Tu Quoque" is derived from Latin, meaning "you too" or "you also." It is a logical misstep in which the argument shifts from the issue at hand to the behavior or actions of the accuser. For example, if person A criticizes person B for smoking, and person B responds by saying, "But you smoke too," this response deflects the criticism without actually addressing the harmful effects of smoking. By focusing on the accuser's actions, the fallacy diverts attention from the original point and diminishes the potential for meaningful discussion. 
  This fallacy is common in many aspects of modern discourse, particularly in political debates, social media discussions, and even in personal relationships. In public debates, individuals or groups may use the Tu Quoque fallacy to avoid engaging with difficult questions, redirecting the conversation toward the alleged hypocrisy of their opponents rather than addressing the real issues. In personal relationships, it may appear as a defensive reaction to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or mistakes.

  A Truce That Is Not Peace

  Miriam Toews

  "Essential reading. A companion for turbulent times."—Laura van den Berg 
    
  Internationally bestselling author Miriam Toews' memoir of the will to write—a work of disobedient memory, humor, and exquisite craft set against a content-hungry, prose-stuffed society. 
    
  “Why do you write?” the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews—all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer—surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. 
    
  Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane—this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.
