This has been out in cyberspace for a week, but it's a good cap to our previous discussion about "Love and Consequences:" It's the New York Times public editor's response on how they missed the signs of a fraud. Most notably for readers of this blog: Some bloggers have suggested that because the editor of "Love and Consequences," Sarah McGrath, is the daughter of Charles McGrath, a Times writer-at-large who used to edit the Book Review, he must have played a part in getting the coverage. He did not. He and Kakutani said they barely know each other and have never talked about what books to review. She works from home, seldom goes to the office and writes for the daily paper, not the section he edited. Kakutani said she did not even know McGrath had a daughter. McGrath said that because he is on the Times staff and sometimes writes about books, he and his daughter do not talk about her work and she had not told him the Jones memoir was hers. |
