Bret Easton EllisThe real Julian Wells didn't die in a cherry-red convertible, overdosing on a highway in Joshua Tree while a choir soared over the sound track.
About This Quote
When we read an autobiography, we take its author's account of their life as the truth. However, that is not always the case. In fact, sometimes the truth can be completely different from what we're told. This is especially true when the person writing the book is not actually alive to tell us about it.
In such cases, we must judge the story on how well it fits with other facts we already know. For example, we know that Julian Wells was a famous country music star and an addict to painkillers and cocaine. We also know that he died under mysterious circumstances.
But, what if he really did die in a red convertible and overdosed on a highway? Well, I'm inclined to believe that this is not true because if true then wouldn't everyone have known about it?
