Fierceton seems to have few regrets about her essays. As she told the Chronicle: “Where I’ve landed is that I have a right to write about my experiences as I experienced them. Period.”

Gotta give the girl credit. She has nailed the zeitgeist.

It's got to be something with that generation. My daughter is on the older side of that generation. She pays a therapist to listen to her talk about things that never happened in her childhood that messed her up. We weren't the best parents, and I take responsibility for the good and bad; all of it. Some of the things she says she's getting help for leave me scratching my head, though. They never happened. I know, because I was there.

In other words, she's a novelist.

It reminds me of the case of Rigoberta Menchu, Guatemalan writer who was awarded the Nobel for her writings off her struggles growing up in a time of rebellion in Guatemala, and of the hardships she and her family endured. It was later revealed she made it all up and actually came from a very privileged and pampered upbringing.
