Is it Fake or Fiction?
I always find it wildly malfeasant and mindlessly entertaining when the mainstream press gets involved in “outing” a book that promises non-fiction — but turns out to be invented or reality-inspired fiction.
Oprah bagged James Frey on her television show after it was revealed his book was not all “true” — and now the author of a gangland story is being “outed” for fakery on the page.
