After reading NONFICTION, you may want to look up Julie Myerson to learn more about her and her book. Or maybe you will do so before you even begin delving into this work of fiction. Either way, you will find articles both critical of and sympathetic towards Myerson’s use of her own life and that of her children in her novels. That blurring of lines between real life and imagination is just one of the themes --- but perhaps the key one --- in NONFICTION, as the title may lead you to note.
