Not wanting to miss out on all the fake memoir fun, July’s issue of Vanity Fair is accusing Dan Brown of plagiarism in his book The DaVinci Code.
According to Vanity Fair, Dan Brown “borrowed” the plot for The DaVinci Code from Lewis Perdue’s Daughter of God.
Mnookin (VF’s contributing editor) also cites an incident in which Brown copied for “The Da Vinci Code an exact passage from the paper “Leonardo’s Lost Robot,” written by robotics expert Mark Rosheim. Brown’s publisher, Doubleday, said it was covered under fair-use. Rosheim says, “Every now and then I’ll be giving a talk and someone will come in with The Da Vinci Code and ask me to sign a copy. Either that or they’ll accuse me of copying him.”
Finally, Mnookin offers evidence that he says may link Brown’s wife, Blythe, to a spate of “mysterious” e-mails that Perdue has received, coming from one “Ahamedd Saaddodeen.”
So far Dan Brown has refused to cooperate with the Vanity Fair article and the Catholic Church has ordered 45,000 new subscriptions of Vanity Fair.
