Million Little Pieces CD (Abridged)by James Frey
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A searing and controversial story of drug and alcohol abuse and rehabilitation, told with the charismatic energy of Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestand the revelatory power of Burroughs' Junky. By the time James Frey enters a drug and alcohol treatment facility, he has so thoroughly ravaged his body that the doctors are shocked he is still alive. Inside the clinic, he is surrounded by patients as troubled as he: a judge, a mobster, a former world-champion boxer, and a fragile former prostitute. To James, their friendship and advice seem stronger and truer than the clinic's droning dogma of How to Recover. James refuses to consider himself a victim of anything but his own bad decisions. He insists on accepting sole accountability for the person he has been and the person he may becomeand#151;which he feels runs counter to his counselor's recipes for recovery. He must fight to survive on his own terms, for reasons close to his own heart. And he must battle the ever-tempting chemical trip to oblivion. Review:Wyman"s reading of Frey"s terse, raw prose is ideal. Review:A shatteringly good listen, A Million Little Pieces is brought to life by Oliver Wyman's searing performance. . . . Raw, graphic, intelligent, visceral, this work should be . . . nominated for something! A sobering piece, not to be missed." Review:Wyman reads thesestunningly brutal passages with urgency and understanding. Synopsis:Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging, "A Million Little Pieces" is a story of drug and alcohol abuse and rehabilitation as it has never been told before. Recounted in visceral, kinetic prose, and crafted with a forthrightness that rejects self-pity, it brings readers face-to-face with a provocative understanding of the nature of addictionand the meaning of recovery.
