Who is the biggest liar: Grey Owl or James Frey? When answering that question you have to look at the facts. Grey Owl a.k.a. Archie Belaney adopted the lifestyle of the native people. I believed Grey Owl lied only out of omission. He did not intentionally lie, he just failed to correct others when they assumed his heritage. James Frey on the other hand intentionally lied. He did so for means of profiting off all his lies. He embellished his life, so it would seem more interesting. James wanted people to talk about his "memoir", to boost sales of this book. To answer the question, who is the biggest liar, I believe the biggest liar is James Frey. Grey Owl did not use the lie to benefit himself, but instead used it to shed light on the wildlife and wilderness. James Frey used his lie to make himself money. It did not benefit anyone other than himself, which makes him not only a liar, but a selfish person as well.
