He had been blogging for years, first at the Frontal Cortex and then on Wired. Sometimes he posted every day. His book on Proust was excellent. Now I should go back and read it to see how it looks in light of his recent behavior.

I had borrowed his Imagine from the library a couple months ago and only read about 20 pages before returning it because none of his information seemed new, just a sort of recycling of all the stuff I'd read about creativity elsewhere. If all this ruins his career, well I can't say I feel sorry for him since he did it to himself.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
