@Liberace: How, and for what purpose, does one wash a turd?

Don't they have to go through the whole thing to make sure none of it's true?

So are you equally against lying millionaire authors *AND* the unwashed turd who had the nerve to send an unsolicited email about her cliche-ridden novel around yesterday? Not trying to pick a fight, just would like some clarification.

Poor James. Even now he looks like he could use a good pity fuck.

I read this post and said to myself, "Barf." Sure enough, Gawker was one step ahead of me by assigning the TAG, "BARF."

Guess this post didn't need a real punchline, being about James Frey and all!

@LolCait: It will soon come out that the morning Frey writes about was neither bright nor shiny, and he in fact fabricated and exaggerated much of the brightness and shine of the morning.

@GWVS: Indeed. And what's risible.

That sound you hear is Michiko Kakutani sharpening her claws of doom. I eagerly await to see what Frey "limns."

I'm guessing that no amount of editing can save it, so they just won't bother.

This is probably why they've made it available for pre-order so early; they want to sell as many copies as they possibly can before somebody acually reads it and word gets out about how much it sucks.

Now not only does he look like Brett Easton Ellis, but his novel title sounds like Brett Easton Ellis.

I hear the hellish underlords are too busy subbing for the suspended matrons at the Academy.

Probably just trying to rush it past Oprah before she has one of her hellish underlords hobble its sales figures with a voodoo curse.

The novel is about a dark, dull, evening.

So this is fiction, is it? Only I sometimes find it hard to tell.
