Inventing Anna carefully follows writer Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky), a fictionalized version of Jessica Pressler’s New York magazine piece on Delvey, as she attempts to connect Delvey’s links

Inventing Anna is Vivian’s story as much as it is Anna’s – in some ways, they’re both inventing. For all of Vivian’s good intentions, she’s using Anna’s narrative to redeem herself from a recent loss in her professional life.

As Vivian’s personal involvement in Anna’s narrative grows, their friendship develops in surprising ways. The repeated visits Vivian has with Anna in a New York City jail have helped her overcome some of her own troubles, allowing her to focus on the task at hand.

Is all of this rooted in fact or is it just a convenient plot device for the author? In certain cases, more than you might expect.
