Memoirial
You can say au revoir to the memoir as we know it. Everyone and their uncle's written one and, don't get me wrong, they've been a favorite genre of mine for a long time. But now that Frey's fried and the market is glutted with whimsical tales of a man and his dog and other yarns about...well...nothing much, I think it's time to get back to some good ole fashioned untrue stories (that aren't marketed as fact). I mean yeah, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, but sometimes, it ain't. And frankly, I just don't care about you as much as I care about me. So if anyone wants to write a story about MY life, I'm all eyes/ears. Otherwise, shut the hell up.

Totally agree! I bought "Million Little Pieces" and was just about to open it when the story broke. I was so pissed off that I decided to give the book away! The irony is that I would have read the book if they had marketed it as "based on a true story", but since he and the publisher lied...Just left a bad taste in my mouth. I will stick with fiction, no way to be dissappointed that someone is trying to pull a fast one on you. You know it is a "lie" up front.
