Gawker.com snarks all over John Grogan, author of the freakishly popular Marley: A Dog Like No Other, Marley and Me, and several other Marley-related tomes. It seems Grogan's old employer, the Philadelphia Inquirer, is republishing his old columns, which they own, without paying him. To add insult to unremunerated injury, the cover features a dog, the better to lure in Marley's fans.
In a letter to his publisher's sales reps, Grogan's agent says, "Already there is a title and jacket that egregiously exploits John's success with Marley & Me, and we are outraged at this misleading representation of a collection that has nearly no content that relates to Marley or even to dogs."Marley's people have not commented on the brouhaha, but it's a good bet that he didn't get paid for any of it.--David E
