At no point in my life did I ever expect to make three postings about Leah McLaren over a two-week period, but I've got to close off some business.

J. Kelly Nestruck summed up the aftermath of the trashing of McLaren's book by one Ryan Bigge, including the reaction of Toronto Star books editor Doug Smith.

Marc Weisblott of Paved almost triggered another feud when he described Nestruck as a fellow fluff reporter. :)
