Memoirs and Misinformation: A novel

Lauded as a daring blend of fact and fantasy, Memoirs and Misinformation is Jim Carrey’s fearless, semi‑autobiographical novel co-authored with Dana Vachon. More than a memoir, it’s an experimental reimagining of fame and identity—chaotic, darkly funny, and deeply introspective.

Meet a fictionalized Carrey, stuck in fame’s absurdity, grappling with loneliness, aging, and the search for meaning. The novel twists through Hollywood satire, apocalyptic fever dreams, and Big Ideas about celebrity, capitalism, persona, and self‑destruction (or transcendence). Narrated via shifting perspectives, it mirrors the surreal complexity of Infinite Jest or Gravity’s Rainbow—ambitious in scope, lyrical in detail. 

Includes vivid Hollywood caricatures of Nicolas Cage, Charlie Kaufman, and other celebrities

Ideal for readers who enjoy genre-bending fiction and explorations of identity beyond the spotlight.
