Bright Shiny Morning

James Frey’s new novel, Bright Shiny Morning, is getting great reviews.

The novel focuses on a variety of characters. A bright young Mexican-American woman, a narcissistic action-movie star, a young 19-year-old couple, and an aging alcoholic. It is a train wreck waiting to happen, but what a fascinating journey it is. The story is interwoven with snippets of Los Angeles history. You can't help but learn something new and become more grateful for what you have in life.—Linda Trout
