From the increasingly invaluable
MobyLives blog, which is the house blog of the Melville House publishing concern: author Gerald Posner, who wrote for
Slate.com until
he was caught plagiarizing, is once again the subject of plagiarism charges. Apparently he scanned in lots of sources for
a book on Miami vice -- organized crime, that is, not the TV show -- and neglected to clearly mark in his files the material that was from other authors.
That's his explanation, in any case... He also says the stuff he was found to have lifted constitutes "a unique case," and will revise the book, and wasn't that just what Charles Pellegrino said a few weeks ago when questions first arose about "Last Train from Hiroshima"?
technorati: fakes, writers, plagiarism
