On the 12 March 2009 at 7pm cc media will be filming the author, James Frey.
The memoir genre has never been so attractive to writers. But what is the use of memoir? Do we value memoir for its truth or its artfulness, and is the chief obligation of the memoirist to fidelity or to storytelling? James Frey is the author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning. This evening he will be in conversation with Alex Clark, editor of Granta.

cc Media were present at the fantastic Made Up Weekend, hosted at A Foundation.
Under the title ‘Made Up’ – meaning ‘happy’, ‘ready’ or ‘pleased’ in Liverpool – we explore in conversations, performances and screenings ‘making things up’: utopias and dystopias, narrative fiction, fantasy, myths, lies, prophesies, spectacle and subversion. Mischievous, constructive or iconoclastic, ‘Made up’ speaks about the power of the imagination and art’s capacity to transport us, to suspend disbelief and generate alternative realities.
Challenging the idea that rationality and enchantment are incommensurable, Made Up Weekend invokes the spectres that haunt not only the artistic imagination. A vision of the world familiar yet often disturbed by occultural visions, scientific anomalies, magic, or sublime irrationality. Unbound by critical orthodoxies Made Up’s aporia will entertain many and exasperate some, no doubt encouraged by the multitude of explanations resonating with the city itself.
A programme out of joint, criss-crossing the uncanny valley at a time when ‘experience has fallen in value’ to truth in make believe.
