James Frey said a lot of things about the veracity of his first book too. Until he was forced to admit he was lying but that everything in the second book was true. Until he was forced to admit that that was a lie, too.
When the fiction market is all but collapsed, and the only way to sell your fanciful tales are to package them as "all-true," EVENTUALLY somebody will call you on it.
If it sounds "too crazy" to be true, it probably is.

But who knows? Some people really do have lives like that. As far as we know, his book is true and just because one memoirist screwed up, we shouldn't just assume that everyone else has done the same.
Nonetheless, it's a good book!

Really? Who? Because Chris, sorry, "Augusten" did not.

Posted: 7/13/06 at 12:17amDo we actually know this? I mean, is there any way to really know?

I'm kind of dissappointed that Norman Burroughs isn't covered head to toe in psoriasis like he was in the book, but other than that it seems just about PERFECT. Brian Cox is EXACTLY how I pictured Finch. He's going to be amazing in this.
