“自 William S. Burroughs 的 Junky 以来，最令人心如刀割的毒瘾故事。”——The Boston Globe “书中一次次展现的回忆让读者感到窒息与动摇。James Frey 这部震撼人心的康复回忆录，完全可以被视作该领域的终极之作。”——San Francisco Chronicle “一部残酷而文笔优美的回忆录。”——The Denver Post “扣人心弦……一个绝妙的故事……你忍不住会为他的胜利喝彩。”——Los Angeles Times Book Review 出自平装版。

……扯别的。行吧，键盘文科生们，给你们泼盆冷水：当你声称自己写的是真实记录时，你就要承担相应的道德标准。举个例子，《百万碎片》（A Million Little Pieces）。这是詹姆斯·弗雷（James Frey）在 2003 年写的一本回忆录，当人们发现他虚构了大段内容后，这本书的名声彻底崩塌了（维基百科现在把它列为“半虚构”）。这里面是有区别的……
…anything. Okay, armchair liberal arts student, here's the smack: When you purport to be writing a factual account, there are certain standards that you can be held accountable to. Take, for instance, "A Million Little Pieces". It was a memoir written by James Frey in 2003 that absolutely imploded when people found out that he made up large chunks of the material (wikipedia now lists it as "semi-fictional"). There's a difference…
……变成了表演。我怀疑大多数人对待类似 J.D. 塞林格那种隐士作者写的虚构自传，反应绝不会像对待詹姆斯·弗雷那样大——后者可是上了奥普拉脱口秀去大肆宣传《百万碎片》的。从主贴文章（TFA）的前几段来看，比阿特丽斯·斯帕克斯（Beatrice Sparks）似乎同样通过自己的演讲和励志工作等公开场合，把自己和虚构的故事绑在了一起。这就像是设计了一个假的……
…to performance. I doubt most people would react the same to a fictional autobiography from a reclusive author a la J.D. Salinger like they did to authors like James Frey who went on Oprah to promote A Million Little Pieces. From the first few paragraphs of the TFA it sounds like Beatrice Sparks likewise attached the fiction to herself publicly through her lectures and self help work or whatever. It's like designing a fake…
确实。有些回忆录会在前言里把这一点挑明。还有一些回忆录是“小说化”的，比如詹姆斯·弗雷的书《百万碎片》。它在 2003 年出版时原本标榜为回忆录，但后来被曝光弗雷描述的很多事件都是夸大甚至捏造的。这在当时引发了巨大的争议，但后来许多……
Sure. Some memoirs state this in the foreword. There are also memoirs that are "fictionalized", like James Frey's book "A Million Little Pieces." Originally published as a memoir in 2003, it was later revealed that many of the events Frey described were exaggerated or fabricated. This caused a lot of controversy at the time, but many subsequent…
……他那套自我神化的把戏有多荒谬、多显眼。虽然不是学术圈的事，但我脑子里立马能想到的最相似的例子，就是詹姆斯·弗雷（顺便说一句，他是白人）当年因为《百万碎片》被当场拆穿，那绝对是当年的轰动性大新闻。
…absurd and obvious his self-mythologizing was. It's not academic but the closest similar case that's coming to mind off the top of my head was when James Frey (who FWIW is white) got found out for A Million Little Pieces, which definitely was major news.
《百万碎片》（A Million Little Pieces）曾是一本很火的关于戒瘾的书，激励了很多人。结果后来被发现故事全特么是编的，于是很多曾经的感动都变成了愤怒。我一直觉得这事很有意思，因为如果……
A Million Little Pieces was a popular book about addiction that inspired a lot of people. Turned out the story wasn't true, and so a lot of inspiration turned into anger. Always thought that was interesting, because if the…
……故事是发生在电影本身的框架内部的。但如果你在元数据（metadata）里撒谎，那就是道德问题了。放到这里来说，就相当于把《冰血暴》（Fargo）归类成了纪录片或非虚构类作品。当年《百万碎片》这本书不得不被重新归类为虚构小说时，也是闹得沸沸扬扬，好多人都觉得自己被骗了。另一个绝对不该做的事就是声称“我没用类固醇，没化妆，也没整容——我这身材全靠自己苦练出来的”……
…story happens inside of the film itself. But if you lie in the meta data, then it’s unethical. In this case if Fargo was categorized as Documentary or non fiction. This was a big deal when the book A Million Little Pieces has to be recategorized as fiction and a lot of ppl were deceived. Another thing you really shouldn’t do is say “I don’t use steroids or makeup or surgery - I achieved this body through hard work alone”…
