I was expecting something different, maybe more biographical. However, it’s still a well-written analysis of the genre.
Anushka Agrawal –
This book opened my eyes to the artifice behind autobiographies. I will never read a memoir the same way again!
Arshiya –
Interesting exploration of the genre, but sometimes felt a bit too academic for casual reading. Wharton’s inclusion was a plus!
Shikhar Batra –
An okay book. I learned a few things about autobiographical fiction, but it didn’t completely capture my attention.
Rohan Naik –
While the topic is fascinating, the writing style felt a bit convoluted. I wish it was more accessible.

I appreciated the insights, though some chapters were denser than others. Overall, a worthwhile exploration of autobiographical fiction.

Franzen’s analysis is sharp and thought-provoking. The book made me rethink how I approach both autobiographies and fiction. A challenging but rewarding read.

The insights into Edith Wharton were worth the price alone. I found it academically stimulating.

A bit dry at times, but Franzen offers compelling arguments about the nature of truth in storytelling. I especially enjoyed the discussion of Wharton.

A brilliant dissection of how authors manipulate reality in their autobiographical works. Highly recommended for serious readers.
