The one with a man's public persona that will most likely end up as the title of his own memoir.
I don't know what I feel about James Frey's possible lies about A Million Little Pieces.
[Oh, and by the way, I just finished reading it last week and loved it.]
Arthur Golden passed off Geisha as a memoir, when in actuality it was a hoax...though you find that out at the end of the book.
I liked the soul of the book. I liked his point.
The way he described an addiction made complete sense to the human psyche.
His points aren't false even if the events might be stretched a little bit.
I never thought he was cool or admired the past he explained in the book, so I don't know if it'd really affect whether I'd still respect the book if his past was embellished upon.
He did bad things, got fucked up, and got out of it.
He found a way that no else did, and I'm sure he isn't a closet-12-Step-follower.
If he added another epilogue at the end, like Golden, saying it was based on his life, it wouldn't affect whether the book spoke to me in the first place.
The book will remain true even if it it's not entirely honest.
