A Poem
You are a turd
Your writing is absurd
You are a liar
Of your lame non-explanations I tire
In particular I despise
This picture of you, the look in your eyes:

I discussed your book with Ash and Small Fish at Chop Suey
What a waste of time! And what Phooey!
How embarassing! to be caught praising your book
like some sucker, a helpless fish on a hook,
and then shortly after,
Small Fish warns me of the pending PR disaster
And yet you survive! How's this?
Your lies about drugs, vomit, blood and piss
Still resonate with readers? And Oprah too?
Does not your fraudulent book literally smell of rotty poo?
Well I for one send psychic daggers your way!
For your literary crimes I believe you will pay
If only you'd admit you lied
If only one day in the news I read "He apologized!"
"He's sorry to have given serious writers a bad name!
And he forfeits his money and fame!"
Then, and only then,
I'd still think you're an asshole.

hahaha funny poem. sadly, your anger is not funny. your previous post helps someone who hasn't read the book understand why the lies are so hurtful. but don't stop recommending books just because of some a-hole.
Perhaps it is his lack of remorse that is so maddening. Smug face and all. Like a little kid who doesn't have consequences. The only reason his book got published is because it was 'true'. That's what made it interesting. When it was just a novel it got turned down. Granted, he should have been truthful, but the publisher should have checked things out, too. Watch Oprah (http://www2.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200601/tows_past_20060126.jhtml)
today to see what she and he and the publisher have to say about it.
I love this poem! And I despise Frey all over again.
