There are two reasons that vintage television has made a resurgence.
* Technology boomed, and there are so many more channels now than ever before. There’s cable, there’s satellite, there’s a screen on your television, your computer, your phone — watching television and televised entertainment has never been more available to more people more hours […]

Frey’s first book (he had a sequel that didn’t do as well, after A Million Little Pieces), and he has an upcoming book that will most likely NOT be touted by Oprah. The reason A Million Little Pieces did so well, and continues to do so well is:

Whether you’re Jewish or not, it’s a great time of year (even Santa’s going to check his list and find out who’s been naughty and nice) to atone.
