| Synopsis | |
| James Frey's name become synonymous with deceit and self-aggrandizement after his incredibly bestselling memoir, A MILLION LITTLE PIECES, turned out to be less than credible: many of the events, including Frey's supposed stint in prison, and his involvement in a real-life train crash, turned out to be false. However, in his defense, Frey claims he never intended his tale of harrowing drug use and eventual redemption to be marketed as a memoir, and that he thought of it as an autobiographical novel from the beginning. In BRIGHT SHINY MORNING, his first official novel, Frey turns his attention to the mean streets of Los Angeles, using his hard-hitting and grammatically uncouth prose to conjure a panoply of misfits, junkies, celebrity wannabes, and Hollywood hustlers. The raw energy that drove PIECES remains, and Frey's novel, like most good fiction, creates a powerful emotional connection in its reader, and strives mightily to reveal deep and fundamental truths. | |

| Industry reviews | |
| "BRIGHT SHINY MORNING is a sprawling, ambitious novel about Los Angeles, written with all the broad-stroke energy that was so irresistible to readers in A MILION LITTLE PIECES. By turns satirical, tense, and surprisingly touching, it is a portrait of a city onto which so many millions have projected so many dreams.... It will test to what extent the public is willing to read James Frey the writer, and not, as he puts it, 'James Frey the a--hole.'" (06/01/2008) | |
