It hit the fan like a lump of shit yesterday. James Frey, the author of the best seller "A Million Little Pieces" is a liar. I only bring it up, because I know a lot of people who have read this book. It seemed to be on the way to becoming a pop cultural zeitgeist ala "Permanent Midnight", but now it seems to be on it's way to being at best a Stephen Glass-like footnote in literature, or at worst, the literary equivalent of the Milli Vanilli scandal. I predict the latter seeing how many people will come to feel betrayed by his confessional "memoir".
Anyway, if you don't know who I'm talking about, go here:( http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0104061jamesfrey1.html ) and read about the man who Oprah must hate now even more than she probably hates Jonathan Frazen. Another blow to the BookClub.
