Like many of you, I have been reading about the memoir fallout of Herman Rosenblat’s Angel At The Fence, a partially fabricated love story memoir cultivated from Mr. Rosenblat’s imprisonment in a sub-camp of Buchenwald.

My question is why are people so upset? Why do they feel it was a personal affront to them that the author added a few fictional aspects?

“Fuck’em all” was James Frey’s response when discussing anticipated reception of his newest literary endeavor, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible, and I totally agree. Fuck’em. So the people couldn’t handle a little fiction with their fact while reading A Million Little Pieces.
Denise Joyce and Nancy Watkins are two women after my own heart. With the release of their new book Scared of Santa they have chronicled a childhood rite of passage; screaming bloody murder while sitting on Santa’s lap. This book is not only creative, but literally ingenious in its simplicity.
