A Million Little Pieces

I knew that book didn't ring true. I sped through it and the follow-up My Friend Leonard and thought they were good at the time, but then I started thinking, man, a lot of this just doesn't seem right. Apparently it might not be: Best-selling book by US author called a fraud

Well...if it's a work of fiction (and not an autobiography), then how is it a fraud? The author might be a big fat liar piece of poop, but the writing itself could still be good and stand up on its own. I don't know, though, as I haven't read the novels in question.

But many writers wrote under false personas. The Bronte sisters did, including Charlotte Bronte...but then again, women weren't exactly accepted as writers at the time...

Nooooo, it's presented as a memoir--it's supposed to be fact.

Oh. Well then. Fuck that right up the face! *hiss*
