<<In Philip Roth's novel "The Plot Against America," which was published last
year, the main characters are Roth's parents, brother, and Roth himself.
They're called by their real-life names, though the story is fictional. Roth
narrates, as though it were a memoir.>>
There is a novel that was just recently published very similar to this concept:
Brett Easton Ellis' "Lunar Park." It's a fictional memoir concerning Ellis'
life and how closely related it may or may not be to his infamous novels on the
vapidity of the X generation, especially around New York City and Los Angeles.
The people mentioned in the book are, for the most part, real, including Ellis
himself, but the details are not necessarily so.
I'm not sure if this was what you were looking for, but I figured I might as
well toss it out here.
