Revising history, Plagarizing, Ready Steady Book Blog and friends
Another story from Salon.com about the Holocaust memoir of Herman Rosenblat written by Levi Raphael. I think most of us are finding fault with the reader rather than the author.
And the author of Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsch, as reported in an article on the New York Times website, announced his essay published on the internet site Beliefnet was not actually his experience, but “internalized it as my own experience”. Ms. Candy Chand who actually penned the story seemed none too pleased,
“I have strong issue with anyone who would appear to plagiarize my work and pretend it is his own,” she said. “That takes away from the truth of the material, it takes away from the miracle that occurred, because people begin to question what they can believe anymore.
“As a professional writer, when someone appears to plagiarize, they damage the industry, they damage other writers’ credibility and they hurt the reader because they never know what to believe anymore.”
A Christmas story is plagarized, what’s that about?
I found this website at Elegant Variations, about the Best 2008 Books of the Year Symposium at Ready Steady Book. Here are some very interesting reads from people more clever than I. And I found the voting page for the Best Literature Blogs at webblogawards. My inspirations. Get the vote out, or at least check out these blogs.
