James Frey is a controversial writer. On purpose. He wanted to be "the most notorious writer in the world." He ran off to Paris to be a writer when he was 21. He published a bestseller 12 years later ("A Million Little Pieces"). That's 12 years of failure. He told me about those 12 years, his writing style, how he developed a voice, rehab, addiction, depression... but mostly about learning how to become yourself again.
