Chronicle Toward Books Bright Shiny Morning

One of the most celebrated and controversial authors in America delivers his first novel—a sweeping chronicle of contemporary Los Angeles that is bold, exhilarating, and utterly original.

Dozens of characters pass across the reader's sight lines—some never to be seen again—but James Frey lingers on a handful of LA's lost souls and captures the dramatic narrative of their lives: a bright, ambitious young Mexican-American woman who allows her future to be undone by a moment of searing humiliation; a supremely narcissistic action-movie star whose passion for the unattainable object of his affection nearly destroys him; a couple, both nineteen years old, who flee their suffocating hometown and struggle to survive on the fringes of the great city; and an aging Venice Beach alcoholic whose life is turned upside down when a meth-addled teenage girl shows up half-dead outside the restroom he calls home.

Throughout this strikingly powerful novel there is the relentless drumbeat of the millions of other stories that, taken as a whole, describe a city, a culture, and an age. A dazzling tour de force, Bright Shiny Morning illuminates the joys, horrors, and unexpected fortunes of life and death in Los Angeles.

Assessment Of Books Bright Shiny Morning

I don't care what anyone says about the "million little pieces" debacle. This guy can write. I loved Bright Shiny Morning. Loved it. It looks at LA and exposes it in a way that hasn't been done before. Hope, fear, love, hatred, tenacity, submission. It's all there. It's written in a choppy style, as if Frey had too much coffee or Red Bull in his system, but it absolutely works. Redefines editing, and I dig that. Read it, it's his best, by far.



I had never read a book until Bright Shiny Morning where, immediately after finishing, said to myself, "Well, that could've been at least 200 pages shorter."

This book was very easy to read and gave me the kind of travelogue that I've always really wanted for visiting a city - a glimpse at the real pulse of the city of LA which can be difficult for a tourist on the ground to sense. It is not a travel book, but it gives a very vivid snapshot of LA and its people. Lots of diverse narratives all coursing together in a warts and all look at Los Angeles and more broadly the concept of "California" in all its fucked up tarnished lustre. I don't care if

I loved this. For so many reasons. One of course is James Frey's style of writing. I can't explain why I love the way he writes. I can see how it would get on so many people's nerves. Then I think, anyone can do this..use weird commas or no commas, and then I see it done poorly and realize that it really is a talent.I loved the first line of the book..before the actual book starts "Nothing in this book should be considered accurate or reliable." Way to go James--you tell them! Then the further I

Surprisingly touching, unexpectedly lovely lament for and love letter to LA. I was annoyed by it, then couldn't put it down, and by the end was fully bought-in.

My favorite book ever read so far!
