A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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.
