Talk:Elizabeth Wurtzel

message: Wurtzel was, prior to writing "Prozac Nation", fired from The Dallas Morning News for plagarizing another writer's work. I hadn't known this before and I think it should be included in this article because she's supposedly a journalist, and we should be made aware of a journalist who is a known plagarist.
Here is a link to an article that discusses the plagarism incident
 
http://themediamob.observer.com/2006/03/the-liars-club-an-incomplete-history-of-untruths-and-consequ.html
And here's the excerpted section of the article dealing w/ Wurtzel:
The Accused: Elizabeth Wurtzel
Crime Against Journalism: Plagiarism
Rap Sheet: In 1988, Wurtzel was accused of lifting passages from another writer's work in her work in The Dallas Morning News. (See: Beg, Borrow, Or..., by Dwight Garner, Salon, July 22, 1996.)
Plea: None.
Sentence Fired from The Dallas Morning News.
Afterlife: After her firing, Wurtzel managed to become the music critic for New York, The New Yorker, and publish the memoir Prozac Nation in 1997. (That book also faced accusations of fabrications). In 2004, Wurtzel was accepted by Yale Law School.
Hollywood Ending: The film version of Wurtzel's Prozac Nation was made in 2001 but didn't appear in the U.S. until 2005 when it went direct to cable.
I agree this needs to be in here. I added it and hope it will remain. See http://observer.com/2006/03/the-liars-club-an-incomplete-history-of-untruths-and-consequences/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdus5678 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

message: "harvard law school so says her website"
That was her original school. A Google on +"Elizabeth Wurtzel" +"Yale Law School" shows she is now attending Yale.
:Is it note worthy that she works at Boise Schiller? Or that she failed the July '08 bar exam?

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Eliwurtzel.jpg

message: "She has been compared to Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath but generally the comparisons are flat, and Wurtzel's work falls far short of the literary merit of the two earlier poets." This is backed up by a source to one review. The opinion of one reviewer should not be stated as fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.135.225 (talk) 23:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparisons with Plath and Sexton 

message: this is a highly contentious account of wurtzel's guardian article, which argues that nothing can explain the virulent reaction to gaza, not criticism per se; and it misrepresents her as saying what she quoted Derrida as saying, in order to derive the bizarre conclusion that she's a jewish supremacist.  hopefully it will be corrected by someone without a chip on his or her shoulder.

message: I removed the following stuff, perhaps temporarily.  These two extended quotes appear to be juxtaposed in order to make it appear that she changed her story about her emotional reaction to September 11th.  But depending on the meaning and context, it is possible that these two quotes are not actually contradicting each other.  In any event, the main point is that there is a core claim here that "controversy erupted" - but did it?  I see no source (not even unreliable ones) that there is actually a controversy here.
"Controversy erupted over comments that Wurtzel, who lived near the World Trade Center in New York, made about the September 11 attacks. Initially, in an interview in October 2001, Wurtzel had stated: 
However, on February 16, 2002, during an interview with Jan Wong entitled "That's enough about me, now, what do you think of me?", for The Globe and Mail in Toronto, she was quoted as saying:

:I also intended to get into the article and do some damage to this WP:SYNTH-violative attack piece. But it was placed on my watchlist and I forgot about it. Thanks for the removal. I fully agree that per WP:BLP, this type of synthesis has no place in the article. There are a few more problems with the article and I intend to get to them as well. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 23:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I removed some things, perhaps temporarily 

message: Apparently Wurtzel's publisher is suing her to recoup an advance, made against her next book, which was paid in 2003. I CBA to edit the article right now, but maybe someone else is interested in improving this article - News article at The Smoking Gun  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strolls (talk • contribs) 18:58, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
