The book is billed as “memoir written as fiction”, which, as far as I can work out, means that it’s fiction.
- Philip Womack in The New Humanist, on Karl Ove Knausgaard's A Death In The Family
A reasonable point, though clearly not what that means. Still, nobody to blame but the publisher for letting such a dicey descriptor make it onto the shelves. (I predict at least one lawsuit.)
