Rachel Sontag: James Frey With Boobs?
So there's a memoir out about some chick's horrible childhood, so it goes without saying why it's in the news: Yes, she's being accused of lies and fraud. New School MFA Rachel Sontag's House Rules describes the emotional abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, who has amped up the PR she's already received (from people like Rosie O'Donnell) by posting a lengthy, aggressive screed on Amazon, in which he denounces his daughter as a disturbed individual guilty of deceit, duplicity and fabrication. What a heartwarming story just in time for Father's Day. Sontag's editors at HarperCollins must be relieved that their author, whose memoir was published a couple of months ago, is finally getting publicly trashed—otherwise the poor thing might have sunk without a trace, cleavageriffic author shot or not!
