after the shlock this guy writes (or takes credit for mfa ghost writer's shlock work), how can anyone possibly take him seriously?

Why would he do this? Oprah was so out of line the first time around with her self righteous hypocrisy she better be getting ready to apologize to him.

Further proof that life is cyclical and Oprah is the vortex at the center. www.learnmeproject.com

I like Oprah, but I hated what she did to James Frey & felt she owed him a PUBLIC apology. Writers fabricate... it's called "writing", and no memoir is the 100% truth. It's one person's subjective pov & often embellished with imagination. Memory in & of itself is a slippery slope.

Frey should stick to writing fiction, and be upfront about it.
Once an author's reputation is diminished as his has been, proven to have no credibility and integrity, it's to take the walk of shame and find a new career.

Nah- I forgive him.

He knew he lied to O. But you know, that's water under the bridge....

Good for both of them for being able to show that you don't need to hold grudges.
