So it amused me greatly to see this item about David Kuhn's supposed morning meet with David Lat, the prosecutor who blogged as a female corporate lawyer and outed himself in the New Yorker last week. Because sure, Kate Lee might have "lost out" on representing Lat (assuming she even wanted to be in the running, anyway) but at least she doesn't have to deal with what happens when a major, gangbusting deal is inked and the editor jumps ship to start her new imprint.

In truth, it's not so unusual for an author's champion to go elsewhere, but who's around to pick up the pieces afterwards? That's something which, as others say, is developing...
