 |
|
The weekend magazine (paper only) of Norwegian tabloid VG today quouted Reinder. In an article on conspiracy theories and the "Paul is dead/J. K. Rowling doesn't exist"-syndrome, journalist Anders Giæver bring this quote:
"'Jeg er sikker på at forskerne i fremtiden vil ha livlige diskusjoner om hvorvidt det var Hertuginen av York eller Kate Bush som egentlig skrev Harry Potter-bøkene,' skriver Reinder Dijkhuis på bloggen Waffle."
Yer becoming famous, Reinder.

"'I am sure that researchers in the future will have lively debates on whether it was the Duchess of York or Kate Bush that actually wrote the Harry Potter books,' writes Reinder Dijkhuis in the blog Waffle."
Geir, can you tell me more on the general tenor of the article? Or even a link?

It's not available online, but I'll mail you a copy of the magazine. 
It's a short, fairly focused and balaced article, mainly focused on how extreme success invites conspiracy theories. It starts out with the "Paul is dead" craze of 1969, touches on "Shakespeare denial" and deals with the "J. K. Rowling doesn't exist" episode. In all fairness, the journalist also states his opinion (which I share) that Grünfeld's article was a failed attempt at a humourous statement on the effects of the enormous Harry Potter PR-machinery.

Didn't Kate Bush write Wuthering Heights?
(Bows head in shame for perpetrating such an obvious gag)
