And maybe a "twin" award for the best fiction that's actually real:-) Seriously, though...I read that James Frey first tried to sell A MILLION LITTLE PIECES as a novel, but nobody bit--so his agent suggested marketing it as a memoir. The rest is history. <BR/><BR/>It's an incredibly riveting book, whatever it is. Interesting that our culture is so hungry for the grim details of real people's lives. Do they live vicariously through these melodramas, and/or do these kinds of books make them feel better about their own unsatisfying lives? <BR/><BR/>Personally, I think lying about your life is an awful thing to do. Still, WHY people do it is certainly something to ponder.Barbara Shouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271843514290564068noreply@blogger.com
