In this discussion of Pillar of Salt, I address the ambiguous location of truth within the false-memory controversy. Proposing a vision of traumatic history and knowledge as inherently confusional with regard to truth, I share with the author a repudiation of simple true-false dichotomies. Arguing for a new epistemological paradigm, I examine the nature of traumatic truth (and falsehood) and the way confusional history is manifest in this controversy
