Another theme I've been seeing in Dreaming With His Eyes Open is the ease with which Rivera - throughout his life - invents and reinvents his life history! Whether purposefully or wishfully, his creativity extends to his life story. He seems to change the details depending on the times and/or the audience. I was wondering how often artists - and people in general - reinvent themselves to suit their own perceptions of themselves or to 'paint a picture' of themselves for others. Any thoughts? Do any other artists/writers/musicians come to mind who you know have also reinvented themselves like this?
