Summary:Unless you've been on a remote island for the past few weeks, you've heard or read about the considerable, and understandable, uproar from book buyers denouncing author Frey's lies and distortions in his "memoir" of addiction and redemption. Frey and his agent presented the book as a true story to his publisher, Nan Talese, his editor, Sean McDonald, and others who brought the story to the public, including Oprah Winfrey. (Talese has had a long and distinguished career in publishing, and it would be regrettable if most people think of her as little more than the woman who was behind the James Frey episode. If the one and only thing she'd ever accomplished was editing and then publishing Pat Conroy's work, that would have been enough for me.)
