Ooooh, now here’s a nifty bit, folks–seems that James Frey, publicly outed on the Oprah Winfrey show when it was discovered that his autobiography was in large part fictional, may know more than he’s letting on about Oprah herself.
He’s edited his recent ACTUAL fiction novel, Bright Shiny Morning, to include a sex story and what is described as a “thinly veiled stab at Oprah”, involving someone who gets “caught up in a highly publicized controversy”, (like himself!) not to mention on “a television show that he knows is going to end badly for him”. (see also: like himself) Sounds pretty self-referential, until the NEXT part, where said someone “starts taping his phone conversations, including one with the talk show host”. In this conversation, she “reveals some startling information about herself”.
Now, all this could be so much crockery designed to hawk a novel. But by like token, if it’s true, man…this would be a thing of purest beauty. Who knows what dark secrets are locked away in Oprah’s closet? For crying out loud, I personally think she’s starting her own cult–she’s got thousands of fanatical followers worldwide. Who knows what Frey’s got on her?
Maybe nothing, maybe something. Stay tuned!
