"It is not a bad idea to get in the habit of writing down one's thoughts. It saves one having to bother anyone else with them."

"[Slater has] the playful mind of a philosopher and the exquisite, unique voice of a poet." (The Washington Post Book World)
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.
Author Biography: Lauren Slater's work has been nominated for a National Magazine Award and chosen for several editions of The Best American Essays. She is the winner of the New Letters Literary Award in creative nonfiction
