Random House Says Authors Must Behave?...
Check out this post on BoingBoing that claims Random House contracts contain a morality clause saying it will take action (up to termination of contract) if authors behave in ways that can damage their reputations and thereby hurt the sales a their books.
I have never seen Random House's contract so I can neither confirm or deny that this is the case. Anyone?
Lots of interesting discussion going on in the comments section of this post (big red pens, badly behaving writers like Lewis Carroll and Shel Silverstein, republican fundraisers, economic considerations, some anti-antisemitism from Roald Dahl...)
