UK Author McEwan Denies “Atonement” Copy Claim

Mister Cow Cow writes Yahoo! News: British novelist Ian McEwan on Monday denied claims that he copied the work of another author when writing his acclaimed bestseller “Atonement.”

The claim is the latest plagiarism controversy to hit the literary world. U.S. author Dan Brown appeared in court in London in February and March to deny accusations he copied wholesale to write his bestseller “The Da Vinci Code.””
