James Christopher Frey (born September 12, 1969) is an American writer and the Founder and CEO of Full Fathom Five, a transmedia production company responsible for the New York Times–bestselling young adult series "The Lorien Legacies", the first book of which I Am Number Four (2010) was made into a hit feature film by DreamWorks Studios. His books A Million Little Pieces (2003) and My Friend Leonard (2005), as well as Bright Shiny Morning (2008), were worldwide bestsellers and he has been published in 31 languages. He was the subject of a scandal when investigators discovered that certain elements were exaggerated in A Million Little Pieces, a memoir of the author's struggle with and recovery from addiction.

Biography

James Frey est diplômé de la Denison University et a également pris des cours à l'École de l'Institut d'art de Chicago. Il est principalement connu pour ses « mémoires », A Million Little Pieces, publié par Nan Talese/Doubleday au printemps 2003 et sa suite, My Friend Leonard publié par Riverhead en été 2005. Les deux livres furent les premiers sur la liste des bestsellers du New York Times, et le premier fut choisi par Oprah Winfrey pour son book club. Cependant, le Smoking Gun et d'autres enquêteurs découvrirent en fin 2005-début 2006 que des éléments de A Million Little Pieces étaient fabriqués, voire que le livre était « un tissu d’affabulations ».

Une partie de la critique lui reproche de faire de la littérature à destination essentiellement commerciale.

James Frey réside actuellement à Los Angeles, avec sa femme et sa fille.
