ah, yes, spidergal. The woman accused of plagiarism. I really have no comment, Miss India, as I haven't been following the story. Frankly, I hope all goes well for her, but her best seller has been pulled from the shelves, no?

Yes, and her her $50000 two book deal with Little Brown cancelled too.
Hey, Miss India, I found my response. Things are getting weird. Well, I have read story after story about people who stole other people's stuff. Often they get by with it. How sad that such a promising career must be so tarnished.

You may sympathize with her...but Letty, 40 passages!
Thats 5% of her novel. Why would anybody? That's the question.
I don't know, spidergal. Often students in prestigious universities are pressured to publish. We may never know the full story behind her motives.
