A Million Little Lies: Exposing James Frey's Fiction Addiction
Investigation of the run-ins with the law described in "A Million Little Pieces."
We consider this preemptive strike on Frey's part as a waiver of confidentiality and, as such, this story will include some of his remarks during those sessions, which totaled about 90 minutes
Frey explained that he was posting our letter to inform his fans of the 'latest attempt to discredit me...So let the haters hate, let the doubters doubt, I stand by my book, and my life, and I won't dignify this bullshit with any sort of further response.' This was, Frey wrote, 'an effort to be consistent with my policy of openness and transparency.' Strangely, this policy seemed to have lapsed in recent weeks when Frey, in interviews with TSG, repeatedly refused to talk on the record about various matters, declined our request to review 'court' and 'criminal' records he has said he possesses, and continued to peddle book tales directly contradicted by various law enforcement records and officials
The coronation of 'A Million Little Pieces' came in September, when Winfrey told a Chicago studio audience (which included Frey's mother Lynne) that she had chosen a book that she 'couldn't put down...a gut-wrenching memoir that is raw and it's so real...' She would later say that, 'After turning the last page...You want to meet the man who lived to tell this tale.' During the October show, which featured Frey as its only guest, Winfrey discussed details of that tale

It may be somewhat surprising to learn that a number of Andersenâs tales were published in America even before being published in Andersenâs native Denmark
According to Jean Hersholtâs introduction to The Andersen-Scudder Letters , University of California Press, 1949, ten tales were published by Horace Elisha Scudder, Andersenâs American editor, publisher and translator, in the above mentioned Magazine , in the years 1868-1870
After the Magazine closed down, Scudder published four other tales, in the years 1871-1873, in Scribnerâs Monthly, an illustrated magazine for the people : ââ (in four installments), ââ, ââ, and ââ

Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales
Author of western classic "Shane", "Monte Walsh," and other westerns. Died in 1991.
Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales by Louis Torres [Introduction] 'Who is this Jack Schaefer?' asked the seasoned proprietor of a secondhand book shop on Manhattan's Upper West Side
A consummate craftsman, he wrote moving tales about characters of fierce individualism and courage
He wrote sympathetic tales not only about childhood but about old age: no American fiction writer has had keener insight into the need of children for heroic exemplars, or of the need of the very old for autonomy
He wrote parables, humorous tales, a Civil War novel, and two novels for children
By this device, the boy's thoughts and feelings are brought close to the surface, while the man he would become is telling the tale
The theme Schaefer has begun to delineate in these opening paragraphs is one to which he will return in later tales: the formative influence a heroic figure has upon the young
Given that the narrator had been an unusually aware and sensitive child, the memory of Shane would inspire in him precisely the sort of language in which the tale is told
I return to it whenever I need a bit of inspiration or a boost of energy.' For him, as for countless others, the book's message is 'as deep and vital as the man it describes.' [See Simmons's '.'] [Excerpted from Louis Torres, 'Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales, ' Part I, Aristos , October 1996; the remaining sections of Part I are Other Tales of Youth; Tales of Old Age; 'Kittura Remsberg'; Other Stories and Short Novels; and Company of Cowards .] Granting Schaefer His Due [From the conclusion to 'Jack Schaefer, Teller of Tales'] In writing this appreciation of Jack Schaefer, I have intended primarily to introduce his work to general readers, especially those who value inspiring fiction about people 'cut from noble cloth.' It has been my purpose, as well, to stimulate interest in Schaefer's work among scholars and critics who have not been aware of it
