O, No! Winfrey Endorses Another Faux Memoir
It's A Million Little Pieces all over again. Margaret B. Jones, a biracial gangbanger who shared her story of running drugs in South Central L.A. in Love and Consequences — recently hailed by O, The Oprah Magazine as "a startlingly tender memoir" — has been revealed to actually be Margaret Seltzer, a well-off 33-year-old from the San Fernando Valley. The publisher says it is "saddened" by this deception, and is offering refunds to anyone who bought the book. The editor in chief of O, in turn, notes that while Love and Consequences "was a great read, we now know that it should have been classified as fiction."My question: Did "James Frey" ever buy drugs from "Margaret Jones"?
