James Frey Scores a Rave

Janet Maslin really, really likes James Frey's new novel, Bright Shiny Morning. She calls it a "captivating urban kaleidoscope" and goes on to suggest that this book is going to "save" Frey, or that this is how he saved himself. We're back to being...maybe...hopeful? This whole thing seems rather surreal. To top it all off, the review itself reads like Maslin copied out some of her notes and margin scrawls. It's surprisingly quite graceful. We suppose she can get away with anything. Even breaking the Barbara Walter's Audition embargo.
