Description
Lee Israel's memoir of a life of crime is a hilarious and shocking tale of forgery and deception. In the 1990s, Israel, a former author of biographies, turned to a bold and irreversible career change: forging letters in the voices of literary greats.
Between 1990 and 1991, Israel wrote over 300 forgeries, selling them to memorabilia and autograph dealers. The forgeries were so convincing that they fooled many, including the FBI. Israel's story is a fascinating exploration of the modern culture of fame and those who trade in its relics.
Exquisitely written, with reproductions of her marvelous forgeries, Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a slender, sordid, and pretty damned fabulous book about her misadventures.
