A Matter of Honor

Another publishing fake.
The simple fact is, frauds are great for publishing,' says Patrick Gallagher, Allen &Unwin's managing and publishing director. Gallagher admires the attitude of Parisian booksellers who have refused to withdraw Norma Khouri's disputed book from sale. Instead, they're using its new-found notoriety as a pitch to push sales.
The book in question is Forbidden Love, a fabricated story about honor killing in Jordan penned by a woman that turned out to be an outright fiction, much like 1992 Nobel Peace prize for woman writer Rigoberta Menchu's   "bogus, multi-cultural agitprop" book

I would ask if the Left has no shame, but I already know the answer.
