...writer, a scandal: this too sounds like something we have read somewhere before. The new element, following the James Frey and JT LeRoy scandals, is the role a little-known pop-culture tastemaker played in how Viswanathan got signed, got famous and got a comeuppance...
...space your new home. You’re jobless, destitute, and living outside, but you can bring your TV, right? Further, there’s always an opportunity for a little freelance—a best-selling memoir about your seedy life on the streets, perhaps with some James Frey-ian embellishments...

Ode LaForge Fontenilles, France Telling Stories I am outraged that Frey's critics think A Million Little Pieces is only the work of a liar [Jan. 23]. Frey put into words the horror of addiction to drugs and alcohol. Who hasn't described a personal experience with color and drama? Frey has my respect for his selfless confession. I wish more writers would...
