mediabistro.com’s FishbowlNY blog had an observer in the crowd at last night’s James Frey–Terry Richardson event at Strand Books, promoting their collaboration on an art book called Wives, Wheels, Weapons. You can get the full story there, but among Frey’s statements about the project:
“I’m much more part of the art world than I am the literary world… I wanted to make a cool, sort of radical, fun art book. I have no interest in being called a memoirist. I’m a writer.”
Also, “the idea was just to do a cool book that would piss people off.”
