Nasdijj, Herman Rosenblat, Helen Darville, Michael Pellegrino, Anthony Godby Johnson ... the list of recent memoir frauds goes on. Today’s fake memoir craze may be only the latest in a grand tradition of literary cons. But LeRoy, Frey, and the other latter-day deceivers seem to lack what Swift, Twain, and Poe had in spades: a sense of humor. Perhaps that may explain why a humorist like David Sedaris, who openly acknowledges exaggerating elements of his bestselling memoirs, continues to sit comfortably on the nonfiction shelves. In the meantime it’s the writers of overserious “misery lit” who have been publicly castigated and promptly tossed into the fiction section, if not the trash.
