The truth about lies

I have plenty words to say about this whole James Frey (and again here and here) thing but I'm just too damn tired to say them.

  2. I do find this statistic interesting,

    "I never expected the book to come under the type of scrutiny that it has," Frey told King. "Memoir -- the word literally means 'my story.' A memoir is a subjective retelling of events.

    A memoir is within the genre of nonfiction. I don't think it's necessarily appropriate to say I've conned anyone. You know, the book is 432 pages long. The total page count of disputed events is 18, which is less than 5 percent of the total book."
