One thing I don’t get into beyond a passing mention in my story is the role of creative theft in “Luna Phoenix Queen.” Without giving too much away, one character steals another’s work and publishes it as his own. This has been a theme in a bunch of novels in recent years — “The Plot” by Jean Hanff Korelitz, “Yellowface” by R.F. Kuang, “The Mythmakers” by Keziah Weir, and so many others my colleague Emily Eakin wrote an entire (intimidatingly erudite) essay on the subject.
I'd love to hear your theories: why do you think plagiarism is having such a moment right now?
