James Frey's admission last week that he made up details of his life in his
best-selling book "A Million Little Pieces" - after the Smoking Gun Web site
stated that he "wholly fabricated or wildly embellished details of his
purported criminal career, jail terms and status as an outlaw 'wanted in
three states' " - created a furor about the decision by the book's
publishers, Doubleday, to sell the volume as a memoir instead of a novel.
