I read about this falsification recently, and wondered where I had heard about the story before. So it was here, in your post! I can understand your being upset--we don't want to be deceived. I had read James Frey's book before the big storm about it. It actually didn't bother me that much when I learned of the "creative writing", because I think I take all memoirs with a grain of salt. I don't expect anyone to remember the past word for word; it's impossible. I guess the intent is what is more important to me. What's wrong with describing something as "based on a true story"? It's more honest.
