“I understand the angle of the episode on Kaavya Viswanthanan: the author was really just a figurehead for a YA book project cobbled together by others. While that is worth exploring, the episode glosses over the sheer amount of brazen plagiarism in “How Opal Mehta Got Kissed” and the author’s obvious role in it. She is depicted as a victim or dupe who needed to “heal” (!) after getting caught up in a massive con job. Really?”
