My Take
James Frey is impossible to discuss without the A Million Little Pieces scandal, when his bestselling memoir turned out to be heavily fabricated. I find the whole affair more interesting than scandalous: it forced a real conversation about where memory ends and invention begins. What I respect is that he didn't vanish afterward. This Ohio-born, Denison-educated writer kept building, moving into ambitious science fiction with Endgame and the Lorien Legacies. Love him or distrust him, the man can grip a reader, and the very talent that got him in trouble is what keeps people reading.
