Bad Reporter is where I get my morning giggles. Here, Don Asmussen takes on Leroy & Frey: “Bush: Both theories of James Frey’s past should be taught.” Although, in Laura Albert’s defense, I am of the mind that her literary hoax was just that–a well-conceived hoax–not really comparable to James Frey’s bestselling act of deception. Leroy’s books were all presented as fiction–sure, autobiographical fiction, but fiction nonetheless–while Frey claimed to have written a memoir.
