...going to get between you and James Frey. Frey, as everybody knows, is the author of two books that were published as memoirs--A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard--but turned out to be not especially factually accurate. I'm not that upset about it, mostly because I didn't think the books were that great in the first place. They felt crude and overwrought and underthought to me, and maybe as if Frey were just a little too proud of what a thorough mess he'd made of his life.

...Jantzen, the No. 4 seed at 141 lbs, gave perhaps the most promising performance, making good on his ranking by taking fourth in the weight class in remarkable fashion. Jantzen earned a fall in his first round bout in only 24 seconds before defeating Cornell’s Adam Frey, 11-7, in a hard-fought quarterfinal match.

We decided to stop suspending our disbelief for the sake of enjoyment...

It would seem that Oprah Winfrey was judging the memory from a more literal perspective, but this makes sense since the great majority of her readers would expect memoirs and autobiographies to be 'true.'" She says that she has never read Frey's book and that she chooses to write fiction because memoirs today "strain credulity." The novelist...
