New Releases by James Frey

A darkly funny, razor sharp plunge into America’s most perfect town, where privilege, sex, scandal, and murder lurk beneath a flawless veneer, from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Frey. Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime. - Honoré de Balzac New Bethlehem, Connecticut. Picture-perfect lawns, manicured hedges, multi-million dollar homes. But beneath the designer yoga gear and country club memberships lies a darker reality. In this world of excess, Devon and Belle have it all—beauty, money, status. But they want something more. Something dangerous. Something that makes them feel alive. Their solution? A party—a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem’s elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street “closer” who wields his wealth like a weapon. One night. Multiple betrayals. And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem’s carefully constructed facade. Fans of "The White Lotus" and "Big Little Lies" will be drawn into the dark underbelly of the American Dream – a world where money can buy anything, until it ruins everything.

«El relato más lacerante sobre la adicción a las drogas desde el Yonqui de William S. Burroughs.» The Boston Globe En mil pedazos es el polémico testimonio de un hombre cuyo furioso impulso de autodestrucción solo es comparable a su inagotable deseo de sobrevivir. Imagina que te despiertas en un avión. No sabes dónde has estado ni adónde vas. Te faltan cuatro dientes, tienes la nariz rota y una herida en la mejilla. Vas sin cartera, no tienes trabajo y te busca la policía. Imagina que eres alcohólico desde hace diez años y adicto al crack desde hace tres. ¿Qué harías? A los veintitrés años, Frey ingresó en un centro de desintoxicación. Destruido física y mentalmente de forma casi irremediable, debía enfrentarse a una difícil decisión: aceptar que no llegaría a cumplir los veinticuatro o cambiar drásticamente el curso de su vida. Rodeado de pacientes en la misma situación, Frey luchó contra el dogma de «cómo recuperarse» para conseguir encontrar su propio camino y decidir qué futuro, si le esperaba alguno, era el que quería alcanzar. Su testimonio, En mil pedazos, se convirtió en un fenómeno literario, hasta que una larga investigación descubrió que el autor había ficcionado más de un pasaje del libro, lo que desató una gran polémica. Sin embargo, sigue siendo una lectura hipnótica e iluminadora sobre un hombre cuyo furioso impulso de autodestrucción solo es comparable a su inagotable deseo de sobrevivir. La crítica ha dicho... «Unas memorias íntimas, vívidas y sentidas. ¿Es Frey el mejor escritor de su generación? Tal vez.» New York Press «Atrapante [...]. Una gran historia [...]. No puedes evitar aplaudir su victoria.» Los Angeles Times Book Review «Una estrella literaria en ascenso [...] que ha dado a luz un relato poéticode su recuperación. En mil pedazos es descarnado [...], perturbador [...]. Está repleto de emoción cruda.» Chicago Sun Times «El libro de Frey se distingue de los demás [...]. Un lenguaje sobrio y sin concesiones oculta el horror de lo que está describiendo: un colapso enviado en telegramas.» The New York Times Book Review «Su prosa es repetitiva hasta el punto de ser exasperante, la historia, con sus incursiones a la conciencia de un adicto, es en proporción difícil de dejar.» Publishers Weekly «Nuestro acerado narrador transmite la urgencia y el espíritu juvenil con un tono airado y clínico [...] que crea sorprendentes acumulaciones de verosimilitud y retratos humanos plausibles.» Kirkus «Uno de los libros más convincentes del año [...]. Increíblemente audaz [...]. De alguna manera logra lo que tres décadas de anuncios cursis de servicios públicos y actividades extraescolares no han conseguido: describir la adicción a las drogas duras como el apocalipsis autoinfligido que es.» The New York Post

"Frey''s concise and readable history of the Indian Rebellion is an excellent introduction to one of the most important wars of the nineteenth century. The rebellion lasted more than a year and pitted broad sections of north Indian society against the British East India Company. British victory consolidated colonial rule that would only be dislodged by twentieth-century nationalist movements. Frey provides a crystal-clear account of the causes, principal events, and consequences of the rebellion. Equally importantly, he deftly discusses why the rebellion remains controversial. Well-chosen documents add texture to the analysis. This is the best short history of the rebellion in print." --Ian Barrow, Middlebury College

Dopo il best seller mondiale In un milione di piccoli pezzi il nuovo romanzo dello scrittore più controverso d''America «Cuori scuri è una storia d’amore tormentata con venature alla Henry Miller, dallo stile sanguigno e schietto e conferma il talento per la scrittura dell''autore americano.» Elle «James Frey torna a parlare di sé con questo nostalgico e sregolato prequel al suo esordio con cui si/ci chiede chi avremmo voluto essere, chi siamo diventati, quanto pesano i desideri infranti.» Vanity Fair «Un narratore nato, Probabilmente uno dei migliori scrittori degli ultimi tempi.» Irvine Welsh Los Angeles, oggi. Jay è uno scrittore e autore televisivo affermato, ha una famiglia bellissima, una casa con la governante e un prato perfetto. E si odia a morte. Un giorno, riceve un messaggio su Facebook da un profilo che non conosce, ma con cui avvia una conversazione che lo porta inevitabilmente a fare un viaggio nella memoria. Parigi, venticinque anni prima. Jay è un giovane scrittore scappato dall’Ohio e arrivato in Francia per rivivere le esperienze dei poeti maledetti e dei suoi autori preferiti. Un giorno, conosce Katerina, una splendida modella norvegese di cui si innamora al primo sguardo. Tra strambe frequentazioni, droghe, ma anche musei, gallerie e tutta l’arte che accende la città, i due vivono una storia che si avvicina a ogni limite, ma anche un amore così folle e profondo da diventare pericoloso. In un gioco a incastri tra passato e presente, James Frey, riprendendo il tono e la situazione di In un milione di piccoli pezzi, in una sorta di allucinato antefatto, ci regala un altro libro in bilico tra autobiografia e immaginazione che avvincerà i lettori fino allo sconvolgente finale.

Leonard è il miglior amico che James abbia mai avuto. Quando James non desiderava altro che distruggersi è stato Leonard '' carismatico uomo di mondo e gangster dichiarato '' a salvargli la vita. Quando James si è trovato a dover superare ostacoli durissimi, psicologici e pratici, per ricostruire la propria vita, Leonard gli ha offerto il suo appoggio, e una protezione sulla cui natura in generale era meglio sorvolare. E così, quando James, appena uscito di prigione, subisce il colpo più duro e crudele del suo destino, è al suo amico speciale che si rivolge per chiedere aiuto. E Leonard, il grande, il formidabile, lo straripante Leonard è pronto ad accogliere James come un «Figlio!», a istruirlo nell''arte del «vivere audacemente», a offrirgli un impiego remunerativo '' per quanto misterioso, vagamente illegale e un po'' rischioso. Leonard: gli affari segreti, le sorprendenti passioni che smentiscono la violenza della «carriera» che ha scelto, la favolosa generosità e la fedeltà feroce. Leonard, che in quell''amicizia ha investito più di quanto James abbia mai potuto immaginare.

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning comes Katerina, James Frey’s highly anticipated new novel set in 1992 Paris and contemporary Los Angeles. A kiss, a touch. A smile and a beating heart. Love and sex and dreams, art and drugs and the madness of youth. Betrayal and heartbreak, regret and pain, the melancholy of age. Katerina, the explosive new novel by America’s most controversial writer, is a sweeping love story alternating between 1992 Paris and Los Angeles in 2018. At its center are a young writer and a young model on the verge of fame, both reckless, impulsive, addicted, and deeply in love. Twenty-five years later, the writer is rich, famous, and numb, and he wants to drive his car into a tree, when he receives an anonymous message that draws him back to the life, and possibly the love, he abandoned years prior. Written in the same percussive, propulsive, dazzling, breathtaking style as A Million Little Pieces, Katerina echoes and complements that most controversial of memoirs, and plays with the same issues of fiction and reality that created, nearly destroyed, and then recreated James Frey in the American imagination.

In 1999, when we had our first daughter, I was contemplating how I would raise my new beautiful child, and I was thinking about how I can best educate her and my other children about values, morals, and other key thoughts about life. School offers education. Religion offers some values and morals. Parents offer most of it, sometimes intentionally, sometimes accidentally. So I created a Words To Live By (WTLB) book, like a dictionary, which lists concepts like honesty, love, persistence, etc. with a definition that I created, with my wifes input. I then turned it into a workbook with one word per page and space below for notes. For years we would discuss these ideas with my two daughters and they would draw pictures and make notes in the blank space. As they got older, they were less inclined to draw and more open to quotes and references from adults. I started sharing some of these quotes along with the Words To Live By with strangers and friends in a blog and in emails. I still try to send a different one out almost every Friday, hence where the title Frey Freyday came from. Initially these Words To Live By were designed to help only my daughters. During difficult times, I found that reflecting on these concepts brought value to me and they helped me stay focused. Later I shared them with both strangers and friends and they too found the Words To Live By helpful, inspirational and enjoyable. Some of them shared them with others and the circle kept growing, more good feedback came in, and people continue to encourage me. I am now sharing them with you. I live in the Laurel Highlands east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my wife Jill and two daughters, Emma and Abby. We have a circle of great friends and family. We enjoy time with our loved ones and friends; the laughter and good times together makes life better.
