- False Memoirs and Literary Hoaxes in the Contemporary Era
Produktbeskrivelse
Textual Deceptions considers a wide range of twentieth- and twenty-first century literary works in which the relationship between text and author is not what it seems. By exploring a variety of examples of false or embellished memoirs, purportedly autobiographical novels that are in fact thoroughly fictional, as well as bogus authorial personae, Sue Vice discusses whether it is possible to judge veracity by means of textual clues alone. The accounts featured range from ''misery memoirs'' to Holocaust testimony, poetry purportedly by a Hiroshima survivor, short stories by an Albanian civil servant, fiction by an Aboriginal woman and by a former male prostitute. The book explores both why such texts arise, including consideration of writers'' motives as well as pressures from the publishing industry, readers'' tastes and contemporary social issues, and also how such texts are constructed, concluding with an assessment of their literary merit.
