What is the author's style in Meetings with Remarkable Men by G. I. Gurdjieff?

Gurdjieff writes a memoir about his own life, and that always makes the author the definitive expert on the subject. Yet memoirs are not always, and not usually, strictly factual. Authors embellish the truth; if not consciously, then unconsciously by the effects of time on memories. With Gurdjieff's storytelling style, probably influenced by his father's singing of the oral traditions and his sharing of stories with his friends along the way, everything has its embellishments.
