Berkeley Group Will Protest James Frey’s Reading

A Berkeley-based organization calling itself Down With Frey plans to protest author James Frey’s scheduled reading tonight at Slim’s in San Francisco. Two years after extravagant claims of crack addiction, jail, and other dramas including a root canal sans anesthetic in Frey’s megabestselling “memoir” A Million Little Pieces were exposed as having been fabricated, the author has a new book out, a novel called Bright Shiny Morning.
