| E-mail entryThe entry "Texas nature writing conference keynote video" is tagged: butterflies , david taylor , robert michael pyle , robert michael pyle video , texas nature writing The Times of London notes the broader issue at stake in the ongoing courtroom drama between J.K. Rowling and the author who wishes to publish a Harry Potter-related book (today's update on the case is posted below.) The Times notes: A generation has now grown up besotted (©Milton) with Quidditch and Hogwarts. However, it is not astonishing that J.K. Rowling is using a court case to remind the writers of a zany (©Shakespeare) Harry Potter lexicon, now making the jump from cyberspace (©William Gibson) to print, that it is not common property and she did invent it all. ... However, unless she employs a mole (©le Carré) to oversee our every conversation and written exchange, she should not try to suppress a collection of her invented words. For Voldemort, Muggles, Horcruxes and all Rowling's other serendipitous (©Walpole) coinages are ours now; it would be pig-headed (©Jonson) not to let us use them as we wish.
