Memoirs of Montparnasse: a Reflection of Myself

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol13/tausky.htm

"'An accomplished liar': so John Glassco describes himself in an early chapter of Memoirs of Montparnasse. In this essay, the implications for the Memoirs itself of this candid self-assessment are examined through a detailed comparison between the final text and the manuscript. The evidence supplied by the manuscript not only necessitates reinterpretation of Glassco's aims as an autobiographer, but also makes it possible to use his work as a text by means of which to explore the wider theoretical issues raised by the presence of fiction in autobiography."

The Mirror on the Brothel Wall: John Glassco, Memoirs of Montparnasse

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol13/scobie.htm

"I wish to argue for Glassco's book as autobiography, fulfilling the cogent definition supplied by Philippe Lejeune: 'A retrospective account in prose that a real person makes of his own existence stressing his individual life and especially the history of his personality.'"
