Another year another 'fiction' book is exposed as a fake... A valley girl pretending to be a single mum from South Central who was a drug-dealer to get by...
Author admits gang-life 'memoir' was all fiction
Don't these authors realise that someone, somewhere is going to catch them out? Especially (in this case) if you have your picture in the local newspaper. Being shopped by your own sister too, bet thanksgiving will be fun this year. Personally, if somethings a good read I don't care if it's fiction or not, so why pretend it's true? I guess if people think a story is true they get into it more, but half the 'true' stories are anecdotal and the truth is embellished anyway - don't let the truth stand in the way of a good story and all that. Anyways, I'm off to Starbucks on Crenshaw to start writing my life story...
