I recall being impressed by this book, and wanting to read more by Slater, but that was a dozen years ago, and now that I'm trying to comment on each book in this collection I cannot recall its details. ( ) The second book I've read by Lauren about her life. This book semi focuses on lying. She discloses a surgery to help her epilipsy by separting the two hemispheres of her brain. That is facinating to me! And to think she is so intelligent to finish her doctorette in record time. Interesting- and what a wacky mother! I was disappointed she didn't continue persuing !!- she felt being there was a lie, but if she felt loved and real, what's the difference? LYING is a stunning feat of postmodern nonfiction, professing itself in every page as being both true and untrue, fully metaphorical and essentially accurate. I don't know how much of it "actually happened," and really, I dot need to. Its composition alone is very impressive -- many memoirs are less than well-organized -- and the conversational writing pulls off the contradictory theme without a hitch. Highly recommended to anyone who doesn't require the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in their readings -- and recommended even more highly to those who do.
"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 the act of storytelling as an act of healing"--Page 4 of cover.
