Question: Can you write fictional memoirs!? do these type of books exist!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They're not called memoirs, becuase 'memoir' means that it has to be non-fiction!. If someone embellishes a story and calls it a memoir they can get into a lot of trouble and they will be ruined forever as a writer!. But there are lots of fiction writers that in the style of memoir, that is to say, their works sound like memoirs, but everyone knows it's fiction and they call it fiction!. My favorite authors of this type are Christine Granados and Yann Martel, but there are many others!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course!. In a sense it's just a fictional novel when you put them all together!. That's a really interesting idea!. I haven't seen any on the bookshelves but then again I never thought to look or ask about them!. Best of luck if you decide to write one!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
