This book is as much about addictions as it is abut lies. Lauren fakes seizures because she craves the kindness of the nurses. Christopher Marin craves sex; Lauren joins Alcoholics Anonymous even though she is not an alcoholic. She has her own compulsions; they have theirs. I like that she lies about her alcoholism. To tell the truth at the AA meeting for her would have been awkward. Lauren shares the thoughts of doctors and philosophers. Some scenes are fun.The college counselor doesn’t believe she is epileptic. The nuns fall down in the snow. But when reading a memoir by a liar, how much should I believe? How much do I want to believe? What stories in this novel better match my truth? I was reminded of reading the novel, “Life of Pi. ” The author set out to tell the most outlandish story that he could invent, and to make it somehow believable. In the end of the book, the insurance agent does not believe Pi’s story, so Pi tells another story, one that seems more believable. But I liked the other story better. We do get to choose what we believe and do not believe. That alone makes truth a slippery thing.Metaphor, however, is attempted truth. In this book I didn’t know what I wanted to believe. But I decided that I do like the story teller.

In "The Art of Time in Memoir", Sven Birkerts wrote that memoirs are works of restoration, "searching out recurrences and patterns, but also then allowing for the idea that pattern hints at a larger order . . . the memoirist researches this, using the self as subject, assembling the shards, riveting his impressions together word by word." This idea is perhaps vital in reading Lauren Slater's "Lying", for she openly admits to creating or altering the stories she tells about herself. There is the lie of Hayward Krieger, whom the introduction is credited to - yet Slater's Dr. Neu claims that Krieger does not exist. Does Dr. Neu exist, or is he another fabrication? Similar questions continue throughout the reading. Slater is not a memoirist who we can consider a reliable narrator, but that factual accuracy was never the point. Tto read Slater's novel is to feel as though you are experiencing the confusions and frustrations that she felt in her life.Slater's style is experimental and effective. The first chapter is a single sentence: "I exaggerate." She chose to include letters and medical reports along with the narrative, giving us a look at her as perceived by others in her life. In this writing itself, Lying is effective in its use of imagery to pull in the reader, and Slater's writing and identity are persuasive and compelling. A scene standing out in my mind was her watching people on the bus. When they got up, she "sat in their seats and felt the way the foam cushions had molded to their specific shapes", she smelled an old man's hat and "studied the hair carefully . . . two silver strands of hair, with a masculine smell." Slater's ears pop and she feels cool air coming in through the bus window, and in this moment we are Lauren. She is honest about things that someone would not necessarily permit herself to be honest about. For instance, the contemplation about stealing babies, lying about having cancer, and having "an immediate affinity for [the penis]."It does not matter so much if Slater's memoir is the truth in its entirety. It is her truth. We have been introduced to her life and her character. From what she has presented to us as readers, we are able to use this to interpret who she is. She states that she has given us her essence. Perhaps in a way, the candid admission that this memoir consists of lies makes her more honest than memoirists that embellish their truths (for instance, could Conroy truly have remember every intimate detail and conversation in "Stop-Time"?). Slater urges that the metaphors she uses "resonate in a heartfelt place we cannot dismiss", and that is the goal of her postmodern memoir. Truth can be complex, and Slater masterfully explores this idea.This book is engaging and undoubtedly one of my favorite memoirs.

Lauren Slater is a wonderful writer. This is the most ambiguous text I have ever read. It is so interesting because there are so many things to question. The truth, fact, non fact, and non truth are definitely always questionable throughout the novel. She puts a unique twist on the perception of life and the way she views different situations that have occurred within her life. This is one of my favorite books I have ever read. I would recommend this book to anyone. It is so easy to read and views the world so differently. Great book!! Also I don't think she ever had epilepsy, but that of course is just my opinion.

I started to read this before and deleted it and seen the book and forgot why I did about an epileptic women going through brain surgur y which I did and just at times found some areas good in book. And some of the book was stupid.

"Lying" takes the reader on a fantastical journey through a mind disturbed by epilepsy or maybe something else. The author experiments successfully not only with the concept of truth but point of view in telling the story. The author's syntax and vocabulary is straight-forward, which lets the narrative stand out. However, she also plays with style, as when she crafts the report of a doctor doing research on epilepsy.The reader also gets an education about epilepsy, Munchausen syndrome and Alcoholics Anonymous.

So she admits her epilepsy is a metaphor. I was okay with that. The metaphor is her truth. Still, her mother is too absent later in the book; concrete memories are absent too, and the focus is on disease only. This book is worth the read. Is it memoir? I think so. I forgive Slater her lies because she has honestly told us she's a liar -- over and over-- in her book.

Lauren Slater's book, Lying, may very well be a work of genius. It is beautifully written and existentially profound. Anyone trying to understand his or her own complex behavior, or such behavior of a friend or loved one, will be engaged, encouraged, embraced by this book. If your experience has been such that you still struggle to find words capable of expressing the truth of your experience, this book may be a revelation. If your heart and mind has brought you to discovering this book through interests noted my the amazon algorithm - trust it in this case, and purchase a copy. Really.

Although impeccably written I wish I have not been 'tricked' into believing her story. In the other hand it shows her incredible ability to sound truthful. It also teaches us that autobiographical work could reflect any amount of 'lies'...for whatever reason or cause, and in varied intensity.
