A Million Little Pieces was the first Oprah Book Club pick by a living author in over two years. It instantly became a #1 New York Times bestseller, a #1 USA Today bestseller, and a #1 Publishers Weekly bestseller, with over 1.7 million copies in print.

My Friend Leonard picks up right where Pieces leaves off. A New York Times bestseller in its own right before the Oprah pick, My Friend Leonard is James Frey's story of his friendship with Leonard, the larger-than-life mobster who "adopted" James as he left rehab. Leonard, who offers James lucrative-if illegal, mysterious, and slightly dangerous-employment when he needs it. Leonard, of the secret deals, of the surprising passions that belie his violent career choice, of fantastic generosity and ferocious loyalty. Leonard, who has been holding on to some remarkable secrets, and who has invested in their friendship more than James could ever imagine.

My Friend Leonard is, at its core, about the responsibility that comes with loving someone and going out on any number of limbs to care for them. And it is a book that proves that one of the most provocative literary voices of his generation is also one of the most emphatically human.]]> 822 3.53 40263 6715 2004 2179832 0061573132 9780061573132 603 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255791970m/2179832.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255791970s/2179832.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2179832.Bright_Shiny_Morning 3.68 2066 Dozens of characters pass across the reader's sight lines - some never to be seen again - but James Frey lingers on a handful of LA's lost souls and captures the dramatic narrative of their lives: a bright, ambitious young Mexican-American woman who allows her future to be undone by a moment of searing humiliation; a supremely narcissistic action-movie star whose passion for the unattainable object of his affection nearly destroys him; a couple, both nineteen years old, who flee their suffocating hometown and struggle to survive on the fringes of the great city; and an aging Venice Beach alcoholic whose life is turned upside down when a meth-addled teenage girl shows up half-dead outside the restroom he calls home.

Throughout this strikingly powerful novel there is the relentless drumbeat of the millions of other stories that, taken as a whole, describe a city, a culture, and an age. A dazzling tour de force, Bright Shiny Morning illuminates the joys, horrors, and unexpected fortunes of life and death in Los Angeles.]]> 822 3.53 40263 6715 1969 104228 3865210945 9783865210944 2 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171509989m/104228.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171509989s/104228.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/104228.Marc_Joseph_American_Pitbull 3.44 9 60251 3.69 16 4 822 3.53 40263 6715 2005 6976507 9722337173 9789722337175 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6976507-uma-vida-em-mil-peda-os 5.00 1 Nº de Páginas: 472]]> 822 3.53 40263 6715 2096080 3.20 10 0 2007 5093781 0981670008 9780981670003 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5093781.Rachel_Feinstein 4.00 1

«Un verdadero triunfo de novela. De hecho, es tan buena que hace más impresionante la transformación de Frey de biógrafo deshonesto a gran novelista… Frey revela las verdades más profundas con este retrato honesto y efervescente de Los Ángeles y del sueño americano… Frey es probablemente uno de los mejores autores en emerger en los últimos años.» Irvine Welsh, The Guardian]]> 822 3.53 40263 6715 2009 6968215 0982431503 9780982431504 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6968215-wall-rockets 0.0 0 822 3.53 40263 6715 281079 4.33 18 1 3112943 0.0 0 0 3112944 0.0 0 0 2009 5973326 2264044853 9782264044853 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5973326.R_v_lations_ 0.0 0 6162 3.43 1289 234 25334 3.82 12943 2143 182771 3.49 853 234 822 3.53 40263 6715 2006 6186377 0847832600 9780847832606 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6186377.Canal_Zone_Richard_Prince 0.0 0 48959 4.23 30 11 822 3.53 40263 6715 2009
