"The whole truth and nothing but the truth"

My belief is that, when someone is to write a memoir it should contain the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When reading a memoir, one is intrigued to read more and find out what the memoir holds about an individual’s life. When one lies, you are taken away from the whole perspective of a memoir. After reading Glassco’s memoir, I would not read his book, due the all the controversy surrounding the book and questioning its truthfulness. After admitting to writing lies in his books, it makes us question the validity of all his work. No one knows what characters are real or fake, what stories are real and fake. That person’s work will always be in question because no one knows whether it is real or not. When writing any piece of literature, one should always tell the truth to avoid any controversy about that piece of work or past and present work as well.
