False Memoir

Based on an Untrue Story

False Memoir is an online fictional memoir. Everything about the author and the setting are true. The characters and the plot are fictional.

False Memoir was inspired by the furtively fictionalized memoirs of such writers as James Frey (A Million Little Pieces), impossible to verify but desperately journalistic reminiscences like The Night of the Gun by David Carr, and the unabashedly inaccurate but entertaining tales of David Sedaris and Mishna Wolff.
