What's real

A wedding in Andorra witnessed by Jean Shrimpton, David Hemmings and Jeanne
Moreau, with live music by the Yardbirds and a 48-hour nude pool party
afterwards? The Factory of Facts—a riotous assembly of histories national,
personal and downright unreliable, demonstrates that even happy exiles and
outrageous fantasists like the Belgian-American Luc Sante eventually acquire a
(rather rubbery) national identity. Published by Granta, £7.99, ISBN
