Guardian best books of 2011 picks James Frey

polly — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:11:52 +0000

THE FINAL TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE is top pick in Alison Flood’s anticipation of the literary highlights of the coming year: ‘literary aficionados know that if it’s real controversy they’re after, there’s no one better than James Frey. His bestselling 2003 memoir, A Million Little Pieces, contained various fabrications about his life as an alcoholic drug addict; his new novel, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible, is out this spring, and looks likely to prove equally headline-grabbing. The book imagines what might happen if Christ returned to Earth, and was living in 21st-century New York, and having plenty of sex � with both men and women.’

Frey’s internship at the Gawker

polly — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:13:45 +0000

This December, James undertook an internship at Gawker to, quote unquote, �pad out his CV�. Frey spent most his time answering questions on the Gawker blog and drew a startling amount of attention: fans and those generally intrigued about him and his writing came out in full force to grill the celebrated author. The questions are certainly varied although it is James� answers which make the conversations so highly entertaining.

Some of the questions were sensible:

Q: �What are you reading right now? I just finished a book like ten minutes ago and am in need of something new. You’re awesome and one of my favorite living authors, btw

James: �Thanks. Reading 2666, by Roberto Bolano. It’s pretty amazing.�

Some were a little more comedic:

Q: �Could you not sleep last night knowing that you were going to intern for Gawker today or was it just like whatever, I intern all the time?”

James: �It was a sleepless night. Spent a few hours choosing my outfit, a few more doing my hair and beard.�

And some were just plain weird:

Q: �You look like you’re from the Bible. What’s your favorite part? Don’t say “all of it.”
Yours in Christ,
Lornetta Churchypants�

James: �My favorite part is when the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are riding around. I want to follow them and see what kind they shit they stir up�

But my personal favourite:

Q: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go through an entire day speaking like David Caruso on CSI Miami?

I think�it would be�fun (sunglasses off)

James: �I do it every day. That fucker stole that style from me.�

From the conversations between Frey and his fellow workers it seems that all equally had a fantastic time with the internship. Although, let�s hope he doesn�t give up the day job quite yet.
