While I hold nothing personal against author Piper Kerman and guest reviewer Thuy Dinh’s in depth review of Orange Is The New Black, I can’t help but feel a bit infuriated by this story. Will Bernie Madoff be writing a similar book when he finally gets out of prison? Or will he be able to publish while behind bars? I won’t be picking up any “literature” from the Enron/Wall Street jerks or those two female journalists who knowingly crossed into North Korea and got caught either.
The simple fact of the matter is Piper Kerman knew, as did the others mentioned in my little diatribe, they were doing wrong and got caught. They should not profit from any “enlightened” hindsight whatsoever.
I will not be adding to Kerman’s coffers by buying this book no matter how catchy the title.
