Book Giveaway Entry Form Please Select The Book You Would Like to Win The Accidental Vampire by Lynsay Sands The Alpine Traitor by Mary Daheim What the Dead Know by Laura Lippman Manuscript Makeover by Elizabeth Lyon Email Address: Select Your Title (Mr/Mrs/Ms): Mr. Mrs. Ms. First Name: Last Name: Street: City: State: Postal Code: Country: (Optional) Lately there has been a rash of bestselling and critically praised memoirs that turned out to be total fiction. Some of the latest fake memoir stories included a man who vastly exaggerated his tale of drug addiction (A Million Little Pieces by James Frey), a wealthy white Valley Girl who wrote that she was a biracial gangbanger in Los Angeles (Love and Consequences by Margaret B. Jones), and a woman who pretended that she was adopted by wolves in the forest who helped her escape the Nazis during World War II (Misha: A Memoir of the Holocaust Years by Misha Defonseca). The one thing these stories all had in common was their wild, unusual storylines that made them fun to read. (Some people think that the wild storylines should have tipped off publishers that the books were fiction). Have these scandals made you more skeptical about reading autobiographies and memoirs? If you were going to write your fake memoir, who would you pretend to be? What bizarre life experiences would you pretend to have had? Do you think you could fool a book publisher (or Oprah) into believing your story was true? |
