Roy Adams reviewed Prism: a memoir as fiction by George C. Chesbro
Memoir as fiction
3 stars
This is a fictionalized memoir of Chesbro's life. To me it was an interesting read but the narrator's (author's) emotional distance made it rough going for me at times so I often set it aside for a while (thus the 4+ years to complete). The sections about teaching in the ARK unit were the most interesting to me but they also displayed a LOT of emotional distancing (which was likely needed in the context of a youth psychiatric correction unit)
