Million Little Pieces Editor: Oprah Stinks

CNN has this report about Nan Talese, publisher and editor of James Frey’s A Million Little Pieces. Apparently she was in Dallas this past weekend for a non-fiction writers’ conference and spoke to the DMN.

“She accused Winfrey of ‘fiercely bad manners’ and said she would have done nothing differently in how she handled Frey’s manuscript.

“I’m afraid I’m unapologetic of the whole thing. And the only person who should be apologetic is Oprah Winfrey,” Talese said.

Can this woman be my hero? All I’m sayin’ is that if Oprah proselytizes to one more person one more time about one more thing…well, to go on would mean I had fiercely bad manners.
