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.’

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.
