This guy is a piece of work. People like this write crap because they lack imagination of any type. When people look back in history, I doubt in the literary world, they will ever remember James Frey.

Controversial author James Frey is set to ignite another firestorm with his new book, "The Final Testament of the Holy Bible," in which the second coming of Christ takes place in The Bronx projects -- but the Messiah turns out to be a former alcoholic who impregnates a prostitute.

Frey -- who was famously ripped apart on TV by Oprah Winfrey and ostracized by the literary community over his partly fabricated memoir, "A Million Little Pieces" -- has sidestepped traditional publishers and teamed up with gallery owner Larry Gagosian, who will publish just 11,000 copies in the U.S. while Frey will self-publish online.

His Messiah, Ben Jones, starts off as a lonely alcoholic bachelor living in a filthy apartment. He survives a horrific work accident, but strange things then happen that lead to him being recognized as the Messiah. Ben also smokes pot, has sex with a prostitute and makes out with men.
