Title: HOW TO STEAL SOMEONE'S LIFE STORY AND GET AWAY WITH IT
Review: Reluctantly, I have decided to give this book another go around. The stories, especially that of the wonderful Julia, would be very engaging IF THEY WERE TRUE. The Julia story is a hoax and a fraud. It is based on the real life-story of Muriel Gardiner (1901-1985), a talented psychoanalyst, intimate friend of the Freud family and generous anti-fascist crusader. IT IS NOT BASED ON ANYTHING THAT LILLIAN HELLMAN EVER DID. This fact has been told by many others besides me. How long will it take to get the message straight?
