Lena Dunham's Memoir
Hey, Airiane,
I do agree that the line is incredibly blurry. Thinking and writing about this topic this week made me wonder if it’s not a line but rather a chasm of murky water. Throughout the years, there’s been a number of nonfiction books that have been exposed as fabrications in one way or another. In the book, they talked about A Million Little Pieces, and the classification changing from nonfiction to “semi-fictional.” I also remember reading about Lena Dunham’s memoir and how a story about a supposed sexual assault was called into question due to facts not aligning properly. In theory, there seems to be a thin line separating creative nonfiction from all out fiction, and I think that as time goes by that chasm or line grows smaller
