Remembering Dominick Dunne on the Menu

Today on the Morning Media Menu, we discussed the life and literary legacy of Vanity Fair correspondent Dominick Dunne.

The prolific writer passed away yesterday, leaving behind an impressive collection of novels and essays. At the end of the show, conversation turned to the looming deadline for the Google books settlement.

Menu co-host AgencySpy editor Matt Van Hoven had this thought: “With blogging, the news, with readers, [Google] has got everything. The question in my mind is, what’s the benefit for writers to be included in this? Right now it seems to be: well, things aren’t going to get much better, so you might as well join us.”
