Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir
Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir
In this unusual memoir, Slater--diagnosed with a strange illness afflicting her memory--brilliantly explores a mind under siege, telling her personal story of seizures, diagnoses, misdiagnosis and cures.
In this powerful and provocative new memoir, award-winning author Lauren Slater forces readers to redraw the boundary between what we know as fact and what we believe through the creation of our own personal fictions. Mixing memoir with mendacity, Slater examines memories of her youth, when after being diagnosed with a strange illness she developed seizures and neurological disturbances-and the compulsion to lie. Openly questioning the reliability of memoir itself, Slater presents the mesmerizing story of a young woman who discovers not only what plagues her but also what cures her-the birth of her sensuality, her creativity as an artist, and storytelling as an act of healing.
