Realish

The new collection of essays by David Sedaris has brought with it the usual is it fiction or non-fiction fracas (though not on the level of Frey or Burroughs et al). Meh. According to the author’s note on the title page of When You Are Engulfed in Flames:

The events described in these stories are realish. Certain characters have fictitious names and identifying characteristics.

Good enough for me.
