Today I found this interesting article on
memorable literary hoaxes. This one leads with another fake memoir about to be released, supposedly by a half white, half native girl raised in by an abusive mother. Just like
last week’s exposed fake,
Love and Consequences
isn’t true.
My favourites are
Go Ask Alice, which wasn’t an
anonymous diary at all;
Fragments, yet another fake Holocaust memoir; and
Mutant Message Down Under, distance doesn’t mean ignorance, at least not anymore. To think some of them got away with it for so long, too.
Keep your diaries and journals real unless you label them as fiction.
