Literary Rogues by Andrew Shaffer
A lively, irreverent collection of true tales that chronicles the most scandalous, shady, and eccentric figures from the world of books and publishing; blending short biographical sketches, juicy anecdotes, and wry commentary, it illuminates how forgers, plagiarists, con artists, and other literary miscreants have provoked, profited from, and occasionally improved the literary ecosystem. Written with sharp humor and pace, the book is both a compendium of notorious episodes and a playful meditation on why we remain fascinated by literary scandal.
