[Ipg-smz] The Intentionally Bad Novel That Became a Best Seller | Now I Know

[Mac McCarthy]

Article is better than the novel...

I remember the scandal.

Early in my career I was working for a weekly newspaper that was failing.
So we sat around trying to figure out what to do and the editor in chief
suggested that we pull a stunt like the one described here: write a
pornographic novel to make money. We sat around all day long on able to get
started – – partly out of embarrassment.

 It ain't as easy as you'd think.
