I believe that author should enlighten the reality in his journal. Making the log whole fabricated would result to bad impression on the main character and also it is misleading the readers. Memoirs are about true incidence that is remembered for lifetime by the writer. False stories could grab reader’s interest for only short period of time. If the reader would come to know about the truth then they would consider it slightly an imaginary tale rather than personal journal. Your imagined thoughts could only be added in a true memoir if the author is not certain of details that occurred at particular time. It is measured as the talent of the journalist to completely engage the readers in reading a memoir entertainingly and making them undergo the imaginary event that is portrayed in memoir. According to the disagreement surroundings, Glassco's memoirs researches prove that no part of the book was written in the time explained by Glassco. All of them were composed and amended thirty years later in 1960's. Besides, in 1965’s Glassco confessed in his journal that the one quarter of his book was all lies and he even admitted that he never encountered the persons he wrote about in the book. Now the point is, reviewer may say that the book disclose sincerity and touching truth of his personal conflicts happened in his life. For example, he demonstrated the sexual and artistic preferences in his memoir. This all explain that he places on number of fictional substance in his memoirs. However, we could never come to a conclusion about the fictitious and the whole truth unless told by the author. In conclusion, the memoir should be truthful and the incidents illustrated must be factual.
