To all you Glenn Beck fans...
I got duped by Glenn Beck! - Salon.com
I know my parents will be first in line to get this book and they'll be preaching to me all of its contents. I'd love to email them this and other articles proving that his book is a farce, but they'll just brush me off as being brainwashed by liberal propaganda. They'll also do what they can to make "realize the truth". Oh, Thanksgiving will be so much fun!
Two weeks ago I discovered, to my surprise, that I had line-edited an early draft of Glenn Beck’s new novel, “Agenda 21.” Glenn Beck! At the time I was working on it, the manuscript belonged to its actual author, a woman named Harriet Parke, who lives a few minutes from my aunt. But a year and a few lawyers later, Glenn Beck purchased the right to call himself its creator, and Ms. Parke agreed to be presented as a ghostwriter.
I would be proud to have my name in the acknowledgments of Ms. Parke’s novel. But given that it is printed inside a book bearing Glenn Beck’s name, the work I did is now deeply at odds with who I am as an editor. “Agenda 21″ is going out into the world on Tuesday, Nov. 20, as something decidedly different from the novel I edited. Yes, the story is the same. So are the concepts, the characters and the writing. But the name in the byline — that changes the book’s intent. It changes everything.
