Straight to Hell
That memoir I wrote about how I was Jewish and survived the Holocaust by trekking across Europe, killing a German soldier, being sheltered by packs of wolves, and escaping the Warsaw Ghetto as a little girl? Yeah, I mean when I insisted it was true, I meant, you know, I felt Jewish, and that this was my story. Don’t push your narrow constraints of objective reality on me, man!

I hope this doesn’t cast doubt on my memoir in which I reveal that I invented the scone while fighting zombies in fin de siecle Paris and ancient Carthage.

The most starting revelation is that she also revealed that she is, in fact, a man, and that her real name is James Frey.

She must be one hell of a prose stylist that anyone believed the story in the first place.

Prose stylist. Is that what they’re calling bullshit artists these days?

Well, you wouldn’t want to call them “authors” or “memoirists” would you? I forget where I heard that term first, but it made me laugh.
