![]() ![]() But A Million Little Pieces refuses to fit any mold of drug literature. The ensuing torments of detoxification and withdrawal, and the never-ending urge to use chemicals, are captured with a vitality and directness that recalls the seminal eye-opening power of William Burroughsís Junky. He had so thoroughly ravaged his body that the facilityís doctors were shocked he was still alive. By the time he entered a drug and alcohol treatment facility, James Frey had taken his addictions to near-deadly extremes. Recounted in visceral, kinetic prose, and crafted with a forthrightness that rejects piety, cynicism, and self-pity, it brings us face-to-face with a provocative new understanding of the nature of addiction and the meaning of recovery. Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging, A Million Little Pieces is a story of drug and alcohol abuse and rehabilitation as it has never been told before. ![]()
