Memories and Misinformation, by Jim Carrey

What seems like a title between the essayistic and the sociological is a novel in which Jim Carrey seems to put himself back in the shoes of his Truman character in that memorable show in which everyone observed his life from his birth in a life made stage.

Memories and misinformation is a journey to the heart of that factory of dreams that is Hollywood, with its bloodthirsty agents and its vulnerable and frivolous celebrities. It is also a challenging semi-autobiographical novel, in which the real and the imaginary intertwine until they explode. And it is, above all, a courageous reflection on privilege, friendship, love, addiction to relevance and the search for meaning in life.

Our story begins with Jim Carrey in death mode: lying in bed watching Netflix. The world may still remember him and the paparazzi may be reluctant to leave him alone, but he feels lonely. His best moment passed and it could even be said that he has put on weight. Try as you might, neither diet gurus nor your Rottweilers can dispel the cloud of emptiness and boredom that hangs over your head. Not even the wise advice of his best friend, Nicolas Cage, can get him out of this depression

Then Jim meets the beautiful Georgie: the naive and ruthless love of his life. And thanks to screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, you get a role that can help you unleash your true potential, expand your limits, your ticket to the Oscar! Things are improving! But the universe has other plans. The universe always has other plans.
