The Ethics of Life Writing. Edited by Paul John Eakin. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2004. ISBN 0-8014-4128-5, 0-8014-833-8. Pp. viii + 228. $47.50, 18.95.
The recent media brouhaha over exaggerations and fabrications in James Frey's bestselling addiction memoir A Million Little Pieces--which stemmed as much from media-diva Oprah Winfrey's revoked imprimatur on the book as from its bestseller status--can hardly seem surprising to anyone familiar with either the history or the difficulties of composing life writing. There is a long and ever-lengthening list of such cases. Indeed, Paul John Eakids fine gathering of essays helpfully explores a number of them.
