Chuck Palahniuk of Fight Club fame is one of the authors who between them lost
$3.4 million or more to embezzlement at the New York literary agency Donadio &
Olson. Darin Webb, accountant at D&O, was arrested in May and is now out on
$200,000 bail.
John Sladek featured in a New York Times article about weird Amazon pricing:
‘Mr. Sladek, who died in 2000, is little read now, which naturally means his
books are often marketed for inordinate sums on Amazon. One of his mystery
novels, “Invisible Green,” has a Red Rhino “buy box” – Amazon’s preferred deal
– offering it for $664.’ (‘Amazon’s Curious Case of the $2,630.52 Used
Paperback’, 15 July)
Michael Moorcock was interviewed for the Shakespeare & Co (Paris) website by
Hari Kunzru, who began by explaining that before Mike arrived on the scene the
science fiction field consisted of ‘gentlemen in sports jackets with slide
rules.’
