Title: Makes my job MUCH harder
Product review: As a memoir and personal essay teacher, I am put to task. My newer writing students want to know, "How much truth do I tell?" and, more importantly, "What is the truth?" Books like this leave me speechless ... and not in a good way. My younger students are getting the not-so-subtle message underlining all of this media frenzy and the big lie itself: i.e., "If your life isn't sensational, or HUGE, you may as well forget writing about it." Or: "Lies sell!" It will take a long time for the writing community to heal from this tremendous wound. Shame on us all for allowing publishing lies like this to happen.
