Blog of a Bookslut

Over at The Washington Times, a publication I do not usually read, Kelly Jane Torrance asks why on earth PW named Jane Friedman its Publishing Person of the Year:

Remember the O.J. book scandal?...The publishing world seems to have forgotten....
The president and chief executive of HarperCollins was one of those responsible for the O.J. fiasco -- she approved the reported $2 million to $3.5 million paid to Mr. Simpson's representatives for his participation. Instead of being chastised for her misreading of the public mood -- not to mention a shocking lapse of taste -- she's being rewarded by the very industry she tainted.
