“The thing about writing a memoir is, if you write yourself into a corner, you can only get out by telling the truth. Making something up to bridge a problem area is not available to you. With a novel, you can take many wrong turns in the middle of composition, and you can go back and say, “Oh, maybe her love affair shouldn't be with her dentist, should be with the housewife next door.” And that will maybe solve your plot problem. , you’re just bound by the truth, and there’s no getting around it.”
