Kaavya Viswanathan has gone from a half million dollar book deal to being accused of plagarism, but her publisher has stood by her, saying things like what a fine young person she was. Until now.
Courtesy Galleycat, a NYT story saying publisher Little, Brown has asked bookstores to pull Viswanathan's novel "How Opal Methta, Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life" from shelves.
Stores will receive a full refund from the publisher. Man, that's got to cut into your royalties.
Meanwhile, a U.K. writer said never mind the plagarism charges, what about the utter crap the book is full of? The title of the piece: "Harvard should be worried."
