I still wonder about those who fell for this in the first place — I must be the only non-fiction believer in the universe…

This story has, actually, become more interesting to me as a sideshow. It seems like a “Yeah, made it all (or most of all) up. I’m very sorry for all the harm I’ve caused” would have helped. But nooo. The spin machine overruled simplicity.

Apparently, the publisher is adding an extra note to make sure that readers don’t get the wrong impression and start believing the non-fiction book contains much in the way of truth:

NEW YORK Jan 12, 2006 â€” Future hardcover and paperback editions of James Frey’s disputed memoir of addiction, “A Million Little Pieces,” will include a brief author’s note that refers to the content of the book, his publisher said Thursday.

Doubleday spokeswoman Alison Rich declined to offer details about the note or to comment on why it was being added. She would not say if the note was an acknowledgment often found in memoirs but not in “A Million Little Pieces” that names and events had been altered.

Kind of hard to alter the deaths of the two girls Frey claims to have had relationships with. But, I’m sure it’s for a good cause. His pocketbook.
