| A Million Little Pieces |
| The electrifying opening of James Frey's debut memoir,
A Million Little Pieces, smash-cuts to the then 23-year-old author on a Chicago-bound plane
"covered with a colorful mixture of spit, snot, urine, vomit and blood."
Wanted by authorities in three states, without ID or any money, his face
mangled and missing four front teeth,
Frey is on a steep descent from a
dark marathon of drug abuse. His stunned family checks him into a famed
Minnesota drug treatment center where a doctor promises "he will be dead
within a few days" if he starts to use again, and where
Frey spends two
agonizing months of detox confronting "The Fury" head on |

| William Cuthbert Faulkner was born in 1897 in New
Albany, Mississippi, the first of four sons of Murry and Maud Butler Falkner
(he later added the “u” to the family name himself). In 1904 the family
moved to the university town of Oxford, Mississippi, where Faulkner was
to spend most of his life. He was named for his great-grandfather The Old
Colonel{William
C Falkner}, a Civil War veteran who built a railroad, wrote a bestselling
romantic novel called
The White Rose of Memphis, became a Mississippi state
legislator, and was eventually killed in what may or may not have been a
duel with a disgruntled business partner. Faulkner identified with this
robust and energetic ancestor and often said that he inherited the “ink
stain” from him. |
