James Frey's literary agent has dropped him, saying she can't keep working with him now that the trust is gone. This answers the question of whose idea it was to re-cast A MILLION LITTLE PIECES as non-fiction. It also makes clear that the plan was carefully thought-out: Frey must have fired his former agent, who'd been shopping it as a novel, to go with someone who didn't know the truth. Whether this means he approached the former agent with the idea and was rejected, or he didn't even ask because he just assumed he would be, I don't know; but his whole ridiculous claim that he'd built an identity in his addicted years that he just couldn't let go of, etc., goes down in flames.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
