A friend just sent me a link to a Talk of the Town piece by Jeffrey Toobin in the latest New Yorker about Pablo Fenjves. (Dec. 4 issue; article posted on the New Yorker Web site Nov. 22)
What’s Fenjves’ most immediate and glaring claim to fame?
He’s the ghostwriter for "If I did it" — O.J. Simpson’s un-confession. A book that Rupert Murdoch, in a rare fit of apparent social sensitivity, put the kybosh on before it hit the shelves.
The article is interesting, informative and enjoyable to read, in standard Talk of the Town style, but the ending is priceless. Fenjves’ response to Murdoch’s cancellation of the book:
Still, Fenjves is undaunted. “It’s going to be bigger than ever,” he said. “It’s like ‘Ulysses,’ except without the talent.”
It never occurred to you that Mr. Toobin made it all up? His reputation precedes him.
