" Ten years ago, Frey, who is now 33, ended up at the Hazelden drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Minnesota with a broken nose, a hole the size of a nickel in his cheek and several broken teeth after he fell from a friend's fire escape when he was high The bugs crawl into my skin and they start biting me and I try to kill them His editor at Doubleday, Nan Talese, almost passed on his manuscript because she thought it was just another addiction memoir At the time, his list of addictions included everything from alcohol to crack to glue He started drinking when he was 10 simply because he saw adults doing it and it seemed like a cool thing to do Frey Recalls Drug Addictions in 'Pieces' Apr 30, 11:01 AM EST For a man who once fell off of a fire escape and crashed to the pavement below, writer James Frey looks pretty good His father was an international businessman He still isn't sure how he got up there, because he has no memory of the two weeks he spent before going to Hazelden, with its wooded grounds and walking trails Shaking shaking shaking "My nose is still crooked but everything else has pretty much healed He sits in a West Village coffee shop, a J "And when you take risks you make yourself vulnerable He is also working on his second book, a continuation of "A Million Little Pieces" called "My Friend Leonard "I wanted to write a book about what happens when you wake up and you are a junky and you have to deal " "A Million Little Pieces" is far from an easy read, Frey says, but rehab is not a pleasant place But after reading a few pages, the grim subject matter fascinated her ) "Part of the way I wrote it, I wanted the book to be addictive â€â€? I wanted to make the reader feel addicted to something," he says "Stripping away punctuation and formal sentence structure allowed you to get into my head and understand what I felt and how I thought Frey's prose is raw and brutal "It was hard to write sometimes "I was overwhelmed by the quality of the writing as well as the storytelling," she says "I'm getting tired of using the word 'I,'" he says His writing experience came from the years he spent after treatment working as a screenwriter in Los Angeles and Chicago He often does not use punctuation and repeats mantras like, "I am an Alcoholic and I am a Drug Addict and I am a Criminal" throughout the book It was a rough time in Frey's life, but also a time he felt needed to be told He says he was careful in his approach, writing one to two polished pages a day, seven days a week for 10 months back in 2000 I claw at my skin, tear at my hair, starting biting myself By 15, he knew he had a problem but didn't want any help and he didn't want to stop When I was a drug addict I quickly realized that being an addict is neither glamorous nor romantic It was a risky book," he says "I didn't want to write a book that glamorized or romanticized drugs, which is what a lot of drug books do "I didn't want to write a book about doing drugs," he says (His credits include 1998's "Kissing a Fool," starring David Schwimmer and Jason Lee I find this encouraging," he writes in the book There was no blood and no bile and no chunks, just acid and water His first book, "A Million Little Pieces," chronicles those hazy first days at the center and his eventual release two months later " They're all edgy, often disturbing books "That's where all the stitches were," he says It yielded him about 550 pages, 150 of which were cut from the final version He pulls back his lip and points out a few faint white lines on the inside of his mouth "I have been sick twice today but it wasn't bad " Frey grew up in an affluent home in Ohio and later Michigan " Talese said that "A Million Little Pieces," which has an initial print run of 50,000 copies, fits in well with titles like "The Long Weekend," "The Man With the Golden Arm" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Doctors at Hazelden sewed up his cuts and gave him new teeth I don't have any teeth and I'm biting myself and there are shadows and bright lights and flashes and screams and bugs bugs bugs The journals Frey kept as part of his treatment served as important road maps to writing the book "The fact that this was his first book wasn't an issue, as I was more concerned about the author's passion Because he was an addict, all work had to be done without anesthesia, including the root canals " His life is a lot simpler today And when you make yourself vulnerable you can get smashed He recently moved to New York City with his wife Maya, an advertising executive, and spends his days walking their dog, watching sports on television and doing publicity for his book Crew vision: crisp white shirt; cropped, curly hair; a good smile with sparkling teeth " He writes in the book, "I start shaking I tried to make myself as vulnerable as possible My entire body is shaking and my heart is racing and I can see it pounding through my chest and I'm sweating and it stings " After that, he will no longer write about himself or his past addictions At times, he uses stream of consciousness to relate his fears, frustration and the challenge of kicking several addictions all at once and by himself If half the movie is filmed in the county, the loan will become a grant " They have offered a preproduction loan of $300,000 for "The Last Full Measure," Maxwell said Report: Turner Options 'Last Full Measure' Aug 1, 12:36 AM EST Even though the movie "Gods and Generals" was not a box office success, director and screenwriter Ron Maxwell still wants to adapt the trilogy's final book, "The Last Full Measure," for the screen Washington County and City of Hagerstown officials helped Maxwell's Antietam Films in preproduction on "Gods and Generals Ted Turner has optioned "The Last Full Measure" for production and is "committed in his heart to do this movie," Maxwell told the Herald-Mail of Hagerstown " The third book follows the action after Gettysburg to the Confederacy's surrender The books by Michael Shaara and his son Jeff Shaara include "Gettysburg" and its prequel, "Gods and Generals |
