A Million Little Pieces - or is it Lies?

I buzz I have heard is that he tried to publish this book with several other publication houses (I heard 20 or so) as fiction and they wouldn't buy it. So he changed its category to 'memoir' and it sold quickly. (This is coming from a work colleague who is a journalist who leads meetings on literary works weekly.) I haven't read it. But I'm curious.

What kind of bugged me was how the media seemed to be laying blame on Oprah for all this. I would think the blame lies with the publisher and author for not disclosing information? I'm not sure.
