Jonah Lehrer Liar Liar

In the latest book news, Jonah Lehrer, author of Imagine: How Creativity Works admitted to making up quotes and other material for his book. Specifically, he put his own words into Bob Dylan's mouth.

Avid readers will remember that I gave a not-so-good review to the book in BLEEP Magazine

Lehrer was outed by Michael C. Moynihan who published the story in Tablet Magazine. With no saving grace in sight, Lehrer publicly apologized for his falsification. He is also stepping down as his position as staff writer for The New Yorker. Consequently, Barnes and Noble is pulling all editions of the book.

DANIELLE'S VIEW: I was right all along. Don't waste your money on the book. And, really, come on Lehrer - don't mess with Dylan.
