A day after Dave Eggers and The New York Times launched a personal attack on independent journalist Paul Maliszewski for his article in Bookforum about lectures given last year in Washington, D.C. and Virginia by Michael Chabon in which Chabon presented a fake Holocaust story as part of his biography (see yesterday’s MobyLives news digest), the attack continues, but with a less personal angle. As part of a vigorous campaign to counter the article, including e-mails to news organizations and bloggers, Nextbook, the sponsor of the lecture, has posted an audio of Chabon giving a similar lecture in Seattle. Nextbook, the widely respected “nonprofit organization that promotes books illuminating 3,000 years of Jewish civilization throughout the United States,” says it “has received Chabon’s permission to make the entire lecture available” so that “readers may draw their own conclusions about Chabon’s performance, rather than relying on the account woven into Paul Maliszewski’s pointed argument.”
