Memory isn't to do with fact or truth, it can have to do with sincereity; what you believe happened...Memory is a form of artistic recording.

Autobiography / Biography: Narrating The Self

[Writers are] born into a milieu that doesn't really offer them the reflection which they seek in books. They seek friendships, sort of spiritual friendships with other writers and that becomes a real community of people - that may not ever meet, or need to meet but that is what is real to them.
