James Frey A Million Little Pieces And Fraud
The James Frey a million little pieces incident is one that I absolutely adore. Frey’s lies, well told to be sure, ended up embarrassing not only himself and his publishers, but the people - like Oprah Winfrey, to name the most famous of them - who praised him up and down for his ‘gritty and honest’ retelling of his life in the gutter. For those who aren’t aware of the james frey a million little pieces affair, let me summarize for you. Frey was an entitled white kid from an upper-middle-class background. He wrote a book called “a million little pieces” which gained both fame and critical praise from people across the spectrum for his supposedly accurate portrayal of how someone with seemingly so much given to him can spurn it all for a life of drugs, drinks and depression.
