From the author of "The Locklear Letters", this is an irreverent and hilarious story collection about the lives we lead. And the lives we wish we led. In tales filled with off-beat characters, we meet the proud winner of an inter-office e-mail contest, a mysterious, one-armed, Texaco attendant with a penchant for reading car manuals, and, in the title story, a misguided autobiographer with a tendency toward fabrication. With a voice that is both humorous and heart-breaking, Kun reveals the hidden side of human existence and shows us that the difference between what is perceived and what is real is often more significant than we would like to admit.
