In response to “The Plagiarist Tale,” it explains the many authors who plagerize and take particular parts of other novels to incorporate to their literary works. However, for Quentin Rowan, it became an addiction and a ‘comfort blanket’ for writing novels. I thought it was interesting to read the life of Rowan and observe his process of taking pieces of other novels in his own because ‘the lifted paragraphs perfectly fit his narratives.’ It was also interesting to read that Rowan had seen a psychiatrist for his plagiarism because it became out of hand, and how the psychiatrist related his addiction to plagiarism to being a pathological liar. However, he did not categorize himself as one; it was because his own work he organically wrote wasn’t getting the positive feedback he expected and no one was impressed. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but fully imitating someone’s literary work can pay the price.
