Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Memoirs of a Literary Forger

This book is itself a kind of scam, which, coming from Lee Israel, I find a bit endearing. Israel's account is biased in her favor, omits important details, and lacks even a shred of self-examination. Plus it's too short. The bare minimum needed to satisfy her contract. Ironically, that means the way the book is written tells you more about Israel's character than anything she actually wrote in the book. It's a 3-star book, but the sheer audacity has compelled me to bump it up to a 4.
