James Frey
Best-selling author and screenwriter
James Frey's first memoir of his treatment at an alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation facility, A Million Little Pieces (2003), and its follow-up, My Friend Leonard (2005-also a memoir), became New York Times #1 bestsellers.
A Million Little Pieces remained on the New York Times best seller list for 44 weeks, selling in excess of 4.5 million copies. The New Yorker praised the book as “A frenzied, electrifying description of the experience.”
His latest work, Bright Shiny Morning, published by HarperCollins, will be released on May 13, 2008. This new book, a novel, 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.
"Bright Shiny Morning is a train wreck of a novel, but it’s un-put-downable, a real page-turner—in what may come to be known as the Frey tradition." -- Sara Nelson, editor-in-chief of Publishers Weekly.
Frey's books have been published in thirty-one languages worldwide.
