A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

James Frey wakes up on a plane, with no memory of the preceding two weeks. His face is cut and his body is covered with bruises. He has no wallet and no idea of his destination. He has abused alcohol and every drug he can lay his hands on for a decade - and he is aged only 23. What happens next is one of the most powerful and extreme, and honest, stories ever told. His family takes him to a rehabilitation centre. And James Frey starts his perilous journey back to the world of the drug and alcohol-free living. His lack of self-pity gives him an unflinching, often searing honesty. A Million Little Pieces is a genuine account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold, literary voice.

'A heartbreaking memoir ! inspirational and essential' -- Bret Easton Ellis 'Horribly honest and funny ! Read this immediately' -- Gus Van Sant 'Harrowing and unflinching.. This is not a book about drugs but about their aftermath ... Though definitely not for the faint hearted, Frey is often darkly and self deprecatingly funny. This is, in essence, a story of redemption and an incredibly moving one. This is a great book' -- Waterstone's Books Quarterly 'Blisteringly written ! The prose is superb' -- Daily Express 20050826

James Frey is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He is married and lives in Los Angeles.
