Plaintiffs alleged that they purchased the novel "A Million Little Pieces," which Nan A. Talese/Doubleday had advertised and marketed as a memoir. However, plaintiffs alleged that James Frey, the author, fabricated large portions of the book, and his publisher was aware of these fabrications. As a result, plaintiffs alleged that they have suffered economic damage and emotional distress.
