Does anyone remember James Frey? The author who really caused an uproar because he said he was writing a truthful book, when in fact, much of it was made up??? He was the author of A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard. Well....he has a new book out....Bright Shiny Morning. I'm thinking I'll still read it. I do like the way the guy writes.

I haven't read any of his books, I'll have to check him out.
I hadn't heard of the guy. Hmm.
I think of this guy every time I sit down to write. When darling susie accused me of making up my story - I thought of him.
He's made it very difficult for those of us who want to tell the truth in our stories. Everything is now taken with a pinch of salt - isn't it?
btw - I haven't read any of his books.
I read the first book he wrote then watched after as Oprah had him back on and crucified him. Although everyone else was doing a fine job of that before she got a hold of him.
I still don't know what to think of the whole thing. But he can write, there's no doubt about that.
Which means I will probably read another book of his.
