One of the main February selections from the latest Quality Paperback Book Club, in early softcover, is James Frey’s My Friend Leonard, his sequel to the defamed and universally despised A Million Little Pieces. Unfortunately, the catalogue was prepared before the shit hit the stands, so it brags about how QPB picked up on Pieces two years before it “got swept up in the literary mainstream,” and reminds us that it was hailed by the Boston Globe as “the most lacerating tale of drug addiction since William S Burroughs’s Junky.” And, to add unwitting irony to embarrassment, QPB slaps “As Seen on Oprah” over an image of the book.
