Three and a half years ago, a Minnesota woman named Layne Johnson started sharing her life story in a Weblog. Or at least that's what readers thought.
Johnson said she was in her twenties. Her candid diary included details about her sex life. The "Plain Layne" blog attracted thousands of readers.
But Layne Johnson turned out to be a 35 year-old man.
Rex Sorgatz interviews the hoax perpetrator in City Pages.
What a non story. If this blog had been in book form instead of a blog, would anyone really care?
This guy sounds like a great fiction writer and someone should hire him.
