Truth is Naked, All Others Pay Cash: An Autobiographical Exaggeration

An elephant trainer in Italy, a writer-in-residence for an archaeological dig in Belize, and a theatre reviewer in Key West, Byron Rempel gets around. Whereas many novels are thinly-disguised autobiography, Rempel believes it is much more interesting when we fictionalize our own lives, especially when it comes to sex. As proof he offers a post-modernist memoir, even though he isn't sure what post-modernism means, never mind his own life.
