“But it's hard for me to pinpoint where all my characters and dialogue come from - imagination or real life. My memoir, of course, was all about my past, and many of the short stories cleave very closely to my life, but the more stories I wrote in the collection, the more that seemed to be invented, but who knows... I think I'm writing about a young woman with acne who shoplifts, but I'm really writing about myself.” ThinkingKnowsWritingRealHardCharacterStoriesPastYoungCoursesImaginationReal LifeMemoirDialogueCollectionsShort StoryYoung WomenMy PastAcne Author:Said Sayrafiezadeh
“I don't feel any ethical dilemma when I write. In my memoir, I was able to write with candor about the two most difficult people in the world to write with candor about - mom and dad.
