A guy lies about his book being nonfiction, ticks off Oprah, becomes the poster boy for scandal, and is considered a literary disgrace by most of the publishing and reading world. So, naturally, he gets a new book deal:
James Frey’s BRIGHT SHINY MORNING, to Jonathan Burnham at Harper, for publication in summer 2008, by Eric Simonoff at Janklow & Nesbit (NA).
The Wall Street Journal describes the book like this:
The new book is set in contemporary Los Angeles and tracks the lives of various characters from different backgrounds. These include a male movie star, a Mexican maid, and a homeless man from Venice Beach. Mr. Frey has lived in Southern California and worked as a screenwriter.
There’s an interesting lesson about morality in there somewhere.
