James Frey (born September 12, 1969) is an American writer known for his ambitious and often controversial works. He initially gained prominence with the publication of "A Million Little Pieces" (2003) and "My Friend Leonard" (2005), both marketed as memoirs, which quickly became bestsellers. Frey's writing style is characterized by a fast-paced, often dramatic, and intensely emotional approach, frequently utilizing fragmented narratives and a stream-of-consciousness style. However, Frey's career was significantly impacted by revelations that substantial portions of "A Million Little Pieces" were fabricated, leading to a major media scandal and reputational damage.
