Okay, so I lied in my last post. This is the last thing I’ll ever say about the whole O.J. book debacle. Kudos to Newsweek’s editor David Gates for calling all of the year’s scandalous accusations and revelations of plagiarism and other literary crimes for what they are (molehills, not mountains) in this commentary. But did he intentionally leave out the overblown scandal that was overblown the most (with the possible exception of James Frey)? A bizarre omission, but perhaps he was trying to practice what he’s preaching by not mentioning the O.J. book—namely that we should stop giving it so much attention and focus on more important things, such as books that actually exist.
