James Frey Fires Back at Oprah

James Frey is finally getting back at Oprah for ambushing him in an interview in 2006, for lying in his memoir A Million Little Pieces.

In the paperback edition of Bright Shiny Morning, Frey adds a talk show scene, where the host berates the character.

“He went on the show. It wasn’t what he was told it was going to be. He got berated, yelled at, booed, scolded, lectured, humiliated.”

The narrator becomes paranoid because of this and loses his mind, I wonder what Oprah will say about that.

Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey

I discovered this “digested” review of Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey on The Guardian’s website through Bookslut. It is a really interesting break down of a much talked about book. What I want to know is, what is the point of this series? Is it to ruin the endings of books that are considered a disappointment? Is it to boil an author’s work down to a one page summary of dialogue of plot? I’m confused. Maybe it’s too British for my American brain?
