J’accuse!

As if James Frey doesn’t have enough problems to deal with, now he’s got readers in Quebec threatening him with a lawsuit over his misrepresentation of the facts in A Million Little Pieces. An article posted on the CTV website is reporting that outraged reader Joshua Adam Levy is launching a class-action lawsuit on behalf of Quebec readers to the tune of $2-million. Levy’s lawyer claims that the lawsuit would never have been launched if the book had been labelled as fiction and even goes so far as to say that “Levy … has lost confidence in the memoir genre.”

    Which begs the question: how does one reckon the value for losing faith in an entire genre? And does it vary by genre? Is losing faith in memoir more or less valuable than losing faith in self-help?
