More on the Plagiarism v. Literature debate

Sep 082010
 

It seems the French novelist Michel Houellebecq has been caught cribbing lines from Wikipedia–but, hey, it’s his style.

Note that this is an ongoing thread—plagiarism and art—on Numéro Cinq. See also the post on David Shields’ Reality Hunger and the post on Further Signs of the Apocalypse.

The Fine Print

The NC discussions are open to anyone. It's a friendly place, easy to join. Just sign in on the comment box with your email address and write your comment. If you stick around, people will get to know you and you're in (except, of course, for the usual credit and criminal record checks, birth and citizenship authentication, school transcripts starting from kindergarten, photocopies of tax records, ID, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). If you turn up often and seem to get the drift of the magazine, you'll be invited to submit. Please respect the generally high level of camaraderie and amiability already in evidence.

The management wishes to acknowledge the financial support of Douglas "Deep-Pockets" Glover and no one else.
