I let it move as fiction because it needed that mask as my debut, you know? I don’t believe it would have been published as nonfiction because it would have required acknowledging that indigenous realities aren’t myths.

It’s like ~5% fiction in the childhood parts of the book, and the rest is straight 
memoir from a spirit first perspective. The conversations between the selves were literally copy pasted from my journals.https://twitter.com/Kanyinsolaa_/status/1327941946661367808 …
It really isn’t?

Even that ~5% is questionable, because as someone once pointed out, memoir has always included reconstructed memories that aren’t viewed as fictional. E.g. Frank McCourt fully writing dialogue he couldn’t possibly remember from when he was a child in Angela’s Ashes.

But the people it was written for always knew it wasn’t fictional, so the mask was irrelevant. We know what is real, down to our bones and spirit, we always have.

I understood it was a memoir at the end of the book so read it again and it was even more powerful so thank you for sharing and deliver this journey I bought this without knowing that I needed it. Thx a lot.

I think at some point I figured it wasn’t fictional. Most of what happened, the questions you raised and the ideas you pushed seemed so much of my reality. That I stopped thinking of myself as a freak. The part where The Ada met that professor, their conversation felt more real

figured it wasn’t when you wrote about anuli’s accident and it checked out with a scar on yagazie’s leg. too much of a coincidence for me.

Read that and I immediately knew it was no fiction.
