À propos de cet audio

New York Times best seller

"None of this is real and all of it is true." (Jim Carrey)

Meet Jim Carrey. Sure, he's an insanely successful and beloved movie star drowning in wealth and privilege — but he's also lonely. Maybe past his prime. Maybe even...getting fat? He's tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor, and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage isn't enough to pull Carrey out of his slump.

But then Jim meets Georgie: ruthless ingénue, love of his life. And with the help of auteur screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, he has a role to play in a boundary-pushing new picture that may help him uncover a whole new side to himself — finally, his Oscar vehicle! Things are looking up!

But the universe has other plans.

Memoirs and Misinformation is a fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our "one big soul", Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world — apocalypses within and without.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A mad fever dream... Carrey and his collaborator Vachon pull out all the stops as their protagonist Jim Carrey careens from midlife blues through love and career complications toward the apocalypse...gems of comic fantasy and the nuggets of memoir gold.” (Kirkus)

Reminded me of Naked Lunch though not quite as F#*&Ed up, with an ending inspired by Life of Pi. Would love to see this as a movie.

Tragic yet surprisingly fun.

I have a feeling I am receiving this book as a birthday gift next week, but I couldn't wait so had to listen to it as soon as it came out! <3
This was a wonderful book to listen to during this quarantine! I highly admire Jim and all the work he has done as well as his worldview and spiritual path. Oh, and Jeff Daniels narrating it was so hypnotic and perfect! I laughed and cried with many of the stories, the mix between reality and fiction, along with those raw moments of vulnerability... Also enjoyed the allegory to hollywood and that strong desire for people to be remembered/immortalized... Thank you so much, Jim, for being such an inspiring energy! :)

Loved it!

Jeff Daniel's was a good narrator, but overall the book was confusing and disappointing as I am a big Jim Carrey fan. Definitely a fiction book.

Not what I expected.

What a fantastic book! Without spoiling anything at first, it was really hard to figure out what was fact, and what was fiction.

In order for a rumor, to be true, there must be a grain of truth to it
