Yes, the Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning author really is here interning for the morning! Earlier, we prompted you to ask him questions. In the comments, I'll moderate by asking him the best ones, and he'll answer. [Photo by Terry Richardson] Read on... BTW, his handle is bigjimdorito in the first few answers, and then James Frey later on.
I'd like to know if James went for the donut with the sprinkles.
James, when hanging out with the Talese family, is it difficult to say things like "Good point, Gay" and "I like your suit, Gay" without smirking?
James: isn't it strangely warm out today? Does this scare you? Do you want to write about it? Love, CodePink
James: who led the American League in home runs in 1973? Also, does this look infected to you?
James: could you not sleep last night knowing that you were going to intern for Gawker today or was it just like whatever, I intern all the time?
James, what are your thoughts on Oprah's recent weight gain? Schadenfreude at its finest?
Are we going to see your underwear by the end of the day?
are you scared?
James, did you ever want to say to Oprah, "hey, I'm a writer, what the fuck does it matter if my story was true or not? Do people actually think all the shit Hunter Thompson wrote about was true? So what if the publishing house had me pretend my story was true to sell more books. It's hard to make money as a writer. I created words that moved people which is a lot more than most writers are able to accomplish so what is the big fucking deal. I don't write for the New York Times, I write books for christ's sakes. Oh, and guess what, Oprah, the stories in Penthouse Letters are fake and there is no Carolyn Keene."
James, when you are "fact-checking," will you be using, you know, like reference materials and other non-fiction sources or will it be more of a memoir-ish approach to reality. Also, is Gawker offering refunds on the items you fact-check?
What is the funniest alternative explanation that you have heard of your tattoo/acronym FTBITTTD?
