Another Literary Scandal

If James Frey turned his fiction: into narrative gold, to only see it exposed as a fraud by www.thesmokinggun.com/ He, should of first turned to Jimmy Santiago Baca for advise. He, has skillfully flown below the radar of investigative reporters since the publishing of his memoir A Place To Stand (2001).

A Place To Stand: has never reached any best seller list, however, Jimmy Santiago Baca has masterfully manipulated public sympathy as a Chicano illiterate, who, taught himself to read and write in prison. But, he has taken his inspirational story one step further and successfully conned the academic world into believing his clever tale. So talented is Jimmy Santiago Baca, that he has managed to of been awarded a honorary doctorate from the University of New Mexico (2003).

Please take the time to review my blog in it's entirety) it contains information about his brazenness: to tell bigger lies, than James Frey could of ever imagined.
