As Galleycat reported, "In the latest issue of LA Weekly, Matthew Fleischer uncovers the truth behind Nasdijj, a Native American writer whose literary career was sparked by an article written for Esquire about his adopted son's lingering death from fetal alcohol syndrome. The buzz around that single feature led to enough book deals to generate three memoirs in four years, a collected outpouring of trauma that rivals Dave Peltzer's oeuvre for grim, depressing narrative through-lines yet earned raves from critics. The only problem is that it turns out Nasdijj's about as Native American as Forrest Carter."

Meanwhile, the New York Times tracks down James Frey's cohabitants from Hazeldon, I guess to keep the story alive.
