Wayne Dyer to Honor James Frey's Book Contracts

Hey Folks,

I attended the Wayne Dyer lecture at Jacob Javitz last month.  It was an interesting evening.  I'd only seen Dyer on PBS--never in person--and was a bit startled when he came out on stage and he looked sleepy and quiet.  Wasn't this the motivational speaker who wows audience's with his stories about faith and destiny?  But after a few minutes he started to rev up and seemed, with each word, to gain more and more energy.  Fifteen minutes into his talk the man came alive and he was articulate and funny and full of spirit.  I was very impressed and a bit surprised to hear that he had become close to James Frey.  Yes, the James Frey who was flogged on a TV show not too long ago.  Seems that Dyer is going to honor Frey's contract for the two novels he was going to write.  The publisher had dropped Frey like a hot turnip not long after the scandal broke earlier this year. 

What does that mean, "honor his contract"?  I'm not sure, but it seems to me that we will see a James Frey novel sometime in the future in some capacity.  I'll be looking forward to it.  Yes, I know he lied in his book, but the man can tell a damn good story.

See ya.

Gary
